Stretching further
By NG3 staff
In an effort to expand the reach of NG3, volunteers are enlisted to “adopt” a team at the high schools NG3 serves. The role of the volunteer is simple: serve the adopted team on a regular basis through leadership of a weekly character discussion or devotional. Until this fall, NG3 has unfortunately been able to serve only male sports, but that has changed!
Welcome to the NG3 family, Christina Estrada, mother to three boys who aren’t even old enough to be in high school. What motivates someone, who doesn’t have a child in high school much less on the team she is willing to serve, to step forward and volunteer to impact the lives of teenagers? We sat down and asked Christina those very questions:
What would you say to others considering being a volunteer?
This is a tough question. Honestly, high school was difficult for me. I don’t think I’m in the minority on that statement, and I was intimidated to walk onto the field with the girls. I realized it was time to pray! That prayer made me realize how important my role as a volunteer would be…I think that the most important thing…is that it takes a village to raise a child…Kids need someone close to them, rather than a network of thousands of strange faces, to show them that life isn’t perfect, but that we can do our best and be there to help each other through. Volunteering for NG3 has been wonderful. They have been very supportive and encouraging. They model what they teach the kids – character and community bring about positive change.
