5th GRADE AMBASSADORS
RISE UP! 5th Grade Ambassador program
As 5th graders, most RISE UP! students have developed strong character and are ready to serve as leaders. The RISE UP! Ambassador Program offers 5th graders the following:
- Leadership opportunities to demonstrate character in practical ways
- A platform to connect with and serve as a role model for younger students
- A chance to serve Christ within their own school community
- An opportunity for RISE UP! leaders to have more in-depth conversations about the 5th graders personal spiritual journey
What will our Ambassadors get out of their experience?
- Opportunity for accountability
- Using talents and gifts for Christ
- Credible leadership opportunities and service hours with a 501(c)3 non-profit
Apply to be a 5th Grade Ambassador
EXPECTATIONS
- Attend a brief RISE UP! Ambassador training
- Complete the short application either prior to or during the Ambassador training.
- Maintain regular RISE UP! meeting attendance and exhibit good behavior during meetings and serve as a role model for others. Since 5th Grade Ambassadors serve as role models, an ambassador can be placed on temporary restriction if leaders determine the 5th grader is more disruptive than helpful. The 5th grader can still come to the regular meetings, but their leadership responsibilities will be removed until their behavior has improved.
- Create excitement about RISE UP! within their school community!
- Ambassadors can decide to purchase an Adult volunteer shirt at cost ($5), if they'd like to stand out as volunteers. All 5th graders will be given the regular student t-shirt!
RESPONSIBILITIES
Ambassadors will be offered roles that align with their talents, skills and interests. At regular RISE UP! meetings, Ambassadors will serve in one or more of the following ways:
- Greet and welcome students at the front door
- Hand out nametags to students
- Help with games and small group activities
- Be part of the praise and worship team
- Serve as a leader in games/skits on stage
- Pass out Parent Connection cards and other take-home items at dismissal
Some schools may offer additional leadership opportunities:
- Serve as a RISE UP! Ambassador at community-wide events, such as the RISE UP! Rally
- Participate in service projects throughout the year
- Participate in other small group discipleship opportunities to further strengthen and apply their faith
- Attend a year-end Ambassador celebration event and ask RISE UP! Alumni questions about middle school
