Welcome to After9 Episode 12: Why Does No One Want To Help Me? In this episode Zac and Chad talk honestly about the volunteer leaders that are vital to our ministry. Somedays it seems like an impossible task, other days it feels like no one cares like you think that they should care, but any time you are ministering to youth you need the help of trustworthy volunteers. The real questions are how to find them, how to keep them, and how to lead them. If you are a youth leader (paid or volunteer) you know you need more help, listen to this episode and get encouraged.

We’re back and settled into our post-EACUBO rhythm, so this week we thought we’d take a few minutes to reflect on lessons learned, lessons (hopefully!) taught, and leave you with some insights on the value of volunteer leadership. The big question: How do we engage the people we’re calling on as volunteers to marshal their energy, enthusiasm, and trust to get them to help us move our institutions forward? From boards to academic teams, this challenge cuts across leadership and calls on us to be at our most clear and creative. We continue to learn much from our experience with these business officers and EACUBO 2015 was no different. The truth is, we are not alone. And as difficult as it may be to face our financial challenges, we can take some solace that we’re all learning these new lessons and skills together.
