  • Step 3: Interview

    A team member will meet with you for a quick interview so that we can get to know each other a little better and can answer any questions you might have. This is also a great time to talk about different opportunities that are available and where your gifts/personality might best match up.

  • Step 4: Training

    We believe success in working with NextGen starts with being prepared. We want to give you all of the tools and training you need to hit the ground running. We will also pair you up with a ministry partner so that you get continued support (and because volunteering is just more fun when we do it together).

Thank you!
