CONNECTOR

As a connector, you are the first face our families see! You play a key role in welcoming new families and making a great first impression for the kids who attend Reno City and Camp Renovate. You may help walk new families through our Reno Kids spaces for the first time and make them feel at home at Renovation, check children into their classrooms using our computer / ipad system to print their stickers, or partner with parents by building relationships through conversations week in and week out.

Connector volunteers can serve at the beginning of a service and catch the majority of the same service in the adult auditorium, or serve the full service hour to answer questions and assist families at the front desk throughout the service. Connectors can serve weekly, or every other week. Keep reading for some helpful tips and resources to serve on the Reno Kids Connector team!

RENO KIDS MOVE UP POLICY

Children in Reno City move up based on their development from the Babies to the Walkers classes: children move to the Crawlers class as they begin to confidently crawl, and to the Walkers class as they begin to confidently walk. Children continue to move up based on their development and birthday until they are in the Fours class. As a four, five, or six year old they will also have the option to join the PreK class where they will intentionally prepare for moving up to Camp Renovate. The PreK class will move up together on Move Up Sunday in August—children beginning Kindergarten will move up together as a class to Kindergarten in Camp Renovate. Children beginning Kindergarten the following fall will move up together as a class to Pre-K. All current Camp Renovate children will move up to their next grade level on Move Up Sunday, and rising sixth graders will Move Up to the adult service and our Student Ministry, r*squad.

RENO KIDS CLASSROOM RATIOS

Remember that we have child:volunteer ratios at every age in Reno City! This allows us to create the most intentional, safe, and engaging environment for the children. Our Reno Kids ratios are as follows:

Babies/Crawlers 2:1

Walkers/Twos 4:1

Threes/Fours/PreK 6:1
