PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Come serve as a Summer Mentor at Wears Valley Ranch! Mentoring at Wears Valley Ranch is daily ministering and sharing one’s life with students (ages 6-16) from crisis situations. Mentors at Wears Valley Ranch help provide a surrogate family for children who have a problem in the home which they did not create. Our vision at Wears Valley Ranch is to see each child inspired to follow Christ, healed from the past, and equipped to reach their potential. Mentors are essential instruments for accomplishing our vision at the Ranch!They are the front lines of the change we work and pray for in the lives of our students.
Formal responsibilities of Mentors will include caring for students during House Parents’ days off, assisting House Parents in discipling students, providing consistent discipline of students, supervising students during recreation, supervising students as they complete daily chores. If Mentors are interested, they could help lead music during daily chapel and could receive coaching in sermon prep & delivery. In addition, Mentors will visit the National Park nearby with students/House Parents and may go on vacation with them. Weekly meetings with Ranch leadership will be held for discussion, instruction, and coaching.
