[Community-service] question for everyone

[Michelle Clark]

Welcome Kara,

 

Indeed, I agree with much of what others are saying. However, do not worry
so much about missing things. Many times, I find things will flow as long as
you are comfortable with the young ladies whom are in your charge.  If the
camp is a short period, you will probably not know names. That happens to me
at work. I just ask who it is and warmly acknowledge the person. They will
do the same. If you let go of yourself and show yourself, they will have a
richer experience.

 

One thing to remember is the group would not be with you if the church did
not feel you have a level of competence. For certain, they see something in
you.  So, keep at it and continue to search around for additional answers in
order to expand.

 

Michelle

Hi everyone,

 

My name is Kara, and I just found about about this group a couple of months
ago. I am excited to become involved.  I am a youth leader in my church. One
of my responsibilities is to help plan and then to go to girls' camp with
about 35 girls.  I have done this in the past, but, I am looking for ideas
as to how I can make this a better experience. In the past, the actual camp
has been very stressful for me, mostly because I don't feel like I am as
effective as I could be. I spend most of my time just figuring out who is
who and trying to find places where I can help. I miss cues that could alert
me to trouble or a girl who needs a little extra help.     Has anyone been
in this type of situation? Any ideas?

 

Thanks

 

Kara
