So, you’ve encountered God through Awakening. Now what? God may be calling you to staff Vol Awakening to guide others to a powerful and personal experience with Christ.
If you’re not sure where you feel called to help, there is room at the bottom to voice those concerns to the leadership team. We can help guide you to the position that is best for you, the retreat, and most importantly, what God is calling you to do. Our staff works as a team-leading up to and throughout the weekend, and a variety of skills and talents are needed to provide a great experience for our retreaters.
**Anyone can staff Awakening as long as they have attended any Awakening as a retreater AND are a current undergraduate student at a college or university.
