Other responsibilities include preparing daily materials, assessing student needs, communicating with families, registering new students, and helping interns or teen volunteers contribute meaningfully to the program. This is a highly relational and hands-on leadership role that blends educational coordination, volunteer management, and community outreach within a Christ-centered mission.
