Ways to Serve with Together at Warren
Thank you for your interest in our Together at Warren Ministry. Below you will find areas of service within our ministry. Please click on the heading and more information will become available.
You will find our online volunteer registration form below as well.
Buddy Volunteer
A Buddy is someone who has a heart to serve individuals with special needs and help them learn about the love of Jesus. Students (high school) and adults are eligible to become buddies.
Sometimes all that is needed is for the buddy to be in the same room when the individual with special needs requires a little extra encouragement and guidance. Other times, a buddy will work closely with their friend with special needs, providing constant support so they can participate with their peers.
Every volunteer is trained before being placed with a child or youth with special needs. No buddy is ever left to “fly solo” until they are ready.
Buddies volunteer during children and youth programing on Wednesday nights and/or Sunday mornings. A minimum of twice a month commitment (1st & 3rd or 2nd & 4th Sundays/Wednesdays) is required to join the buddy ministry. Buddies are also used during VBS and other seasonal programs.
Classroom Leader or Assistant
Classroom leaders are adults with a heart to serve children, students, or adults with special needs in a self-contained classroom. Classroom leaders are typically adults. Assistants can be adults or students.
Some children and students with more significant needs cannot be integrated into the regular classroom setting. Classroom leaders, with the help of assistants facilitate a small group of differently abled children in a special needs classroom.

Host
Hosts are individuals with a heart to serve children, students, or adults with special needs and their parent. Hosts are typically adults with excellent people-skills, a welcoming smile, and a flare for hospitality.
Hosts will welcome students and parent into our venue weekly, help with the check-in/check-out process, nurture and encourage parents who have often had a rough morning, and are available as an extra set of hands if needed in the classroom.
Hosts volunteer during children and student programing on Wednesday nights and/or Sunday mornings. A weekly commitment is best but not required to be a Host. Hosts are also used during VBS and other seasonal programs.
