We all love to be appreciated! I know I do! When it comes to volunteers in our youth ministries, we big-time need to know how to encourage and appreciate what they do for teenagers.

In this episode, we interview Erin Wells. Erin works with Jody at High Desert Church in California as the Student Ministry Director. It wasn’t long after Jody got to High Desert that we started talking about having her on the show.

She’s amazing at encouraging volunteers, so we do a deep dive into what’s she’s learned along the way. And of course, we add a few tips of our own along the way.
