While some events charge hundreds of dollars per person to attend, this event is unique and allows you to bring everyone on your volunteer team for 1 low registration fee. So pack a church van and join us. Sign up today to lock in the “bring as many as you can” price!

YES. We know it’s hard to believe, but we want this training to be insanely affordable to all churches. 1 registration gets your whole group in the door – but be sure to register today otherwise locations fill up and cost does increase!

Do not fear, we’ve got backup plans! IF things take a turn we will have you covered. Every location will have different guidelines, but we’ll make sure everyone who registers has access to the training on that day and during that time, do not worry!

We have a very limited number of partial scholarships available to those who need financial assistance. Our motto has always been, “Don’t let the price stand in the way of you attending” – we can figure it out! Send us a quick email ([email protected]) with your situation and you’ll get a solution in 48 hours.

YES! The primary focus of the day will be training adults who want to better care for the students entrusted to their ministry. Because the event is targeted for youth ministry volunteers, the terminology will be teenager-specific, BUT the application will be universal.

YES! Each lead youth worker can edit their registration total as the date gets closer using the link at the bottom of the confirmation email. We’d love for you to free up spots for other groups looking to attend in your area OR bring more of your leaders! The deadline for final registration adjustments is Wednesday, September 16th

We’d love to help you find another location to attend… OR work with you to host the event at your church! (Chances are, you’re not the only group looking to attend at this sold out site—you could be helping another youth worker train his/her leaders, too!) Email us at [email protected].

Unfortunately, we do not allow refunds for this event.

No, there are no exchanges for this event. Please adjust the number of leaders you’ll be bringing to free up spaces for another group who may want to attend and email us at [email protected] for information on how to access the content to train your volunteers on another date/time.

The cost is per group, so if you’re a group of 1 that’s still the cost. May as well invite a potential volunteer with you along for the ride right? How about that summer intern you were thinking about bringing on board? It costs you the same either way so invite someone to come with. It’ll make the drive more fun, too! ROAD TRIP!

There may be – each location has a loving host who is opening up their church/ministry doors to you on 9.19.2020. BUT, what they’ll have and all of that is up to each location, so the safest way is to get a coffee on the way and maybe a McMuffin to top off before you walk in just to be sure. Then if they’ve got danishes, you can discreetly take 2 and refill your drink. Everyone wins!

Not a problem at all! Pick a reasonable, conservative number that you will have with you on that day. Things come up and we know someone may bail, just use your best estimate on how many will be joining your group that day and a few more/less are no problem at all!

This isn’t really a frequently asked question, we just thought someone may click to read it. If your local guidelines are to wear a mask, please do.

Yes, we’ve added an extra bathroom break, more content and extended it an extra half hour since it went by SO fast last year. New speakers (some returning favorites) and all new content. It’s going to be awesome for volunteers!

It’s simple, but we also understand it’s hard to believe since it’s SO good. You pay 1 registration price for as many people from your volunteer team as you can bring. Think of it as buy 1 get 25 free. You register your whole group for one low price. Clear enough?

Space to host and the ability to play a video. You can download the whole thing ahead of time, greet people at the door and press play. YOU create the welcoming environment and open the doors of your church. We’ll do the rest!

NO, this is NOT a streaming event. Our strategy is to get this everywhere: into rural areas with lower speed internet and into church basement youth rooms where the wi-fi is rough. So you can hit up a Starbucks with great internet, download the entire event, and simply press play on the day of! Yeah!

A computer and a screen is all you need! Most churches are going to host it in their “main space”, whether that’s a sanctuary or shared worship center. Then again, if your youth room has a better sound system, go with that! Whatever works best for you and the amount of youth workers who sign-up for your location!

For sure! Most groups will pile into a van and drive across town, maybe even a couple towns over, but 45 minutes to 1 hour is about the limit. So host it at your place! Get your church and others in your area involved and have a GREAT community-wide training day!

We will definitely do our best to spread the word and fill each host location. But there is an expectation that each site will invite their local networks and churches as well. Attendee registration will open in early 2019 at $99 per church. (Each church can bring as many volunteers as they’d like.) We want as many volunteers there as you can fit in your space!

The schedule is designed for it to be as easy on your host site as possible. If you provided an air-conditioned/heated room with decent screens or a projector, that’s enough. If you want to go all-out and provide meal(s), prizes, etc.—go for it! We’re thrilled that some locations are looking to go over-the-top!

We’ve covered a lot of questions (see above), but if you have additional questions, please let us know and we’ll update this FAQ with your question. Shoot us an email at [email protected]!

Great news! We know that youth workers with hearing loss need and deserve training too. Simply request the captioned copy via email ([email protected]) and we’ll send you that version. It will be released a few days after the non-CC content. But it will be available! Please let us know you want it and you’ll get an email from us when it is ready.

Because we’ll be putting a ton of promotion into the day/date on all of the promotional material, we’d love for you to do it on the day we’re promoting, but we’d love to hear from you if you have something else in mind for your network. Let’s talk about it and figure out it on a case-by-case basis.
