Commit to the TEAM

• Respond to schedule requests
• Be prepared: Read the emails with the lessons so you know what’s happening (Station 1)
• Be on Time: Our huddles relay important information for the day, so arrive 30 minutes before the service time to receive these updates.

Follow the Dress Code:

• Wear your GENESIS KIDS t-shirt and lanyard so both parents and security know that you are a team member
• Dress appropriately – you will be playing with children, sitting on the floor, dancing, etc. Be mindful of baggy shirts or pants that may be revealing; wear actual shoes not flip-flops, etc.
• Follow the guidelines for your role and listen to and respect those leading GENESIS Kids (GK Coordinator, Core Team Members, GK Director)
