Volunteer
Give an hour. 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
Most of our volunteers had never taught before they started. What they had was a love for kids and a willingness to show up. CEF provides the curriculum, the training, and a team so you never serve alone.
- Free, hands-on training and ready-to-use lessons
- Flexible commitments—weekly clubs or one-time events
- A supportive team and ongoing coaching
