ACTIVITIES LEAD
You are a part of the ACTIVITIES TEAM whose goal is to be on the frontlines serving our guests throughout the weekend. The team will facilitate any activity that a guest may experience and one of the main faces that they will see. Our goal is to lead guests through empowering activities that will set them up for success once they leave the property. As you serve throughout the weekend, your interactions will help shape the environment for the guests.

Primary Role of Activities Lead
Lead and support the activities team leading up to and during the JH Outback weekend.
Before you Begin…
Register for the Event
We want each JH Outback Adventure to be a first class experience that anyone can afford. From the time guests arrive, we serve them in a way that makes them feel special, so they can focus on their relationship with God and their spouse, son or daughter.
To help reduce the overall cost we ask every volunteer to cover their own cost through the volunteer registration fee. If you cannot afford the Volunteer registration fee, please contact us as we may be able to provide financial assistance.
Additionally, we ask each volunteer to invite at least 3 people to attend as guests. This is a key part of the volunteer experience as we seek to invest in the lives of others.
Cancellation Policy
Full refund if cancellation is within one week the JH Outback Event. No refunds will be given less than a week before the JH Outback Event.
STEP 1 - Watch Films
JH Outback Culture
There are a couple of short videos from Bruce that articulate well the culture behind JH Outback. Our team would recommend viewing these as a great refresher to the foundation of what JH Outback is about.
