A person wishing to become a staff member in the Service Trips Subcommittee must first go on one of our trips as a participant. The following spring, she or he must attend our training seminar and work as a trainee on one of our trips. The following year, if qualified by the service trips committee, he or she will be assigned to lead or cook on one of our trips. The new leader or cook must attend the seminar a second time that spring. The annual training seminar, a four-day event, is held during June.
Attendance is required of all trainees and of all first-time leaders and cooks.
Experienced leaders and cooks must come every second year for a refresher.
