Learn how to befriend those with physical, intellectual, or emotional challenges, and do it over lunch! Includes tips for conversations as well as how to work with kids or adults in classroom settings.
As we begin offering more opportunities for those with special needs to participate in our programs, we will need buddies to come along side of children and adults who are participating. This training will help prepare you to be a buddy in Children or Youth ministries or to volunteer in any of our adult "Image Bearer" initiatives.
FREE training for Teens and Adults - lunch is included!
Training led by Rachel Kessler, who works for Camp Promise Ministries, developing curriculum and helping with camps throughout the year.
