HOW TO GET INVOLVED
Serve with STEP Canvassing — use your gifts for His Kingdom.
Beyond the summer program, STEP relies on a year-round ministry team working behind the scenes. The roles below are volunteer positions that support the STEP program — recruiting students, telling the STEP story, and keeping the ministry organized and accountable. If one of them fits your gifts, we would love to hear from you.
A Note on Compensation
STEP Canvassing is a ministry in its infancy, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to use our skills and talents for His kingdom. At this time we’re unable to provide compensation for year-round ministry-team members, and the summer STEP-program compensation does not apply to these roles. We’re looking for people excited to see God provide, willing to sacrifice for His cause, and to trust Him with the details. Our hope is to compensate team members eventually, but we cannot guarantee it now or in the future.

Develops and executes STEP’s overall marketing strategy — raising awareness, recruiting students, communicating the mission, and building relationships with churches, schools, youth groups, and ministry partners.

Key Responsibilities

- Identify ways to reach prospective students, parents, churches, schools, youth groups, and partners.
- Build and maintain outreach relationships and databases with churches, pastors, youth leaders, schools, and organizations.
- Coordinate promotion across social media, email, churches, and other channels (with the Social Media Producer).

Key Responsibilities
- Manage STEP’s social presence and develop engaging content for each platform.

- Organize receipts and documentation; monitor program expenses against the approved budget.
