How We Serve
Dear Monthly Leader,
Thank you so much for leading the Easton Chicks! We LOVE spending time with the Valley Youth House and truly appreciate you for making it possible. Without monthly leaders bringing their joy and passion to Valley Youth House, we truly believe this program would not be the wonderful blessing it is to so many!
Here are a few general guidelines for leading a Chicktime month at Valley Youth House:
Your Workshop:

-Once you decide what your workshop will be, contact your Leader Co-Host (which will be assigned to you when you sign up) and discuss your ideas with her. At that time, she will let you know if your activities are appropriate for {your charity partner name}. All materials you bring to {your charity partner name} must be approved so make sure you discuss those ahead of time.
– Valley Youth House can house up to 10 moms and their children. You must prepare for all of them to attend, providing enough materials for all to participate, but please understand that on any given Saturday, we cannot guarantee how many kids will be able to attend. Consider the Chicktime chicks that will be in attendance as well but you do not need to provide extras for us. We are there to help you and to serve the kids!
– VYS is home mothers and children. Most of the moms are ages 16 to 21 years of age and their children are as young as 4 years old.
-You are responsible to fund all materials for your programs. If you need fundraising advice and support, please let us know ASAP!
Your Volunteers:

-Additional volunteers will join us on any given Saturday, but they will serve as mentors and rotate through the stations enjoying time with the girls. You may bring additional volunteers to come and ‘play’ in addition to your program facilitators! Bringing your own volunteers to run the programs also opens the opportunity for new volunteers to experience Chicktime!
Invitations:

-Chicktime Easton will send out the invitation for you using our database to our regular volunteers. You are encouraged to send the invitation out to your circle of friends and family as well as print them off and distribute to your community if you desire. On that note, please encourage your friends to fill out our web form and sign up to join Chicktime Easton, simply click the subscribe button at the bottom of every page to open the web form. Make sure to select Easton from the drop-down menu. You are welcome to send a link the web form to your friends, post it on your Facebook page, and even include it as part of your email signature!
What to wear:

Other things to consider:

-Please leave large key chains, purses, pens, and other sharp objects in our cars or locked in the office while we are in the facility.
-Phones should be put away and on silent. It is imperative that we are spending every second of Chicktime with the kids and not on our phones!
-Please do not ask where the kids are from or share where we live.
-Please do not use camera’s unless you are given permission.
