Volunteer Program

The Volunteer Program at The Bennett Center seeks to create an environment in which everyone who desires is able to serve others, thus living out the example of Jesus Christ.

To create this environment, volunteers are welcome for any duration of stay, be it a week or a year. They will be placed in a program that allows them to use their skills and passions while meeting the needs of The Bennett Center and the London/Laurel County communities.

Short-term volunteers stay for less than six months, while long-term volunteers commit to working for at least a year.

Requirements:

	Long Term: At least 21 years of age
	Short Term: At least 18 years of age

Expectations:

	Willingness to learn from those with whom you work as well as those whom you serve.
	To present a life of faith and grace with all those whom you are in contact.
	Be an active participant in The Bennett Center community of staff and volunteers.
	Summer volunteers are expected to be on campus for a week of training prior to the start date of their program. (Mid-Late May for Summer Programs)

Benefits:

	Short Term Volunteers receive housing and food for the duration of their volunteer time.
	Long Term volunteers receive a small reimbursement for living expenses, housing, food, health insurance, and a possible Americorp Education Award.
