Volunteers

We are " Servants' Touch Ministries, Inc."  We serve a racially and ethnically diverse population of youth, so we strive to recruit an equally diverse population of adult volunteers.  Volunteers are selected for this ministry based on their faith in Jesus Christ and commitment to serving God by serving youth and their families.  For some, this is their first experience with Christian ministry and community volunteering.  To others this is a different kind of opportunity for continued service.  


In June of 2000, Alaska's First Lady, Mrs. Tony Knowles, presented one of our volunteers with the "Volunteer of the Year" award for his service at the Fairbanks Youth Facility.  

• Screening and Training

The talents, skills and interests of the volunteer determine the area of ministry placement.  Our team is composed of people both working in the “front lines” (like teaching, one-on-one sharing, counseling, etc.) and those working behind the scene in support roles (record-keeping, making telephone calls, prayer, etc.).  

Volunteers serving the youth directly must first complete a background check, than attend orientation and training sessions.

• Continuing Training

Opportunities are available to attend seminars and training sessions sponsored by Straight Ahead Ministries on the East Coast.

We furnish a periodic series of training letters entitled “Mini-Helps” to provide training ideas for those on the “front-lines.”
