 As a Volunteer 

Teenagers thrive in an atmosphere of love and acceptance.  Cru is a group of caring, trusted adults and college students who enter into student’s lives and love them with the love of Jesus.  Our field volunteers meet the students where they are and help them grow into their potential. 

We are also always looking for people to be Teacher Sponsors, people who will provide support to a local team, Media/Social media helpers, or Event volunteers.
