Debbie Rogers October 2007
My involvement with a Fergus drop-in centre began in the year 2000, by attending a meeting held in a local church and signing up as a potential volunteer. In March of 2002, I became a volunteer at "The Door Youth Centre a satellite of Highlands YFC. (http://www.highlandsyfc.com/) In May of 2006, I continued my role as volunteer plus was voted in as a member of the steering committee. In March of 2007, I began working out of the Fergus centre as a Staff Youth Worker for YFC. In June I started my credentialing by attending Summer Institute and look forward to Module 1 in November.
At present together with the YFC Fergus team, we:
Lead drop-in Friday and Saturday nights for 13-19 yr. olds
Lead a special events night on Thursdays
Meet with teens one on one
Help in tutoring the Alternative Ed. class in the high school
Coach volley ball in the high school
Specific ministries I am responsible for include:
Team up with two teachers and provide a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere for learning independently or help with assignments
Girls night out ? outreach to junior high girls 10-13 yr. olds.
Lead an adult prayer group
Debbie's reflections:
My mission is to make a difference in the lives of struggling teens of Centre Wellington for the glory of God.
