Volunteer
Give a few hours. Change eternity.
Volunteers are the heart of CEF of the Ozarks. When you serve, you become the caring adult who introduces a child to Jesus—and we equip you every step of the way.
You don’t have to be an expert—just willing
Volunteers should have a love for kids, a desire to reach them with the Gospel, and a willingness to consistently be present in the club.
- Free, hands-on training and ready-to-use lessons
- Flexible commitments—weekly clubs or one-time events
- A supportive team and ongoing coaching
