YES, with the following considerations:

• Senior Youth in the evenings of WAVE week is their priority. This is where they can be ‘on mission’ to their friends. If they are tired, then morning is when they will need to rest. They are invited to be part of the Evangelism training but not compulsory like for the rest of the team.

• Teens going into Years 9-10 should be considered ‘apprentices’ to learn the ropes of being on the WAVE Kids Team. Don’t give them specific responsibilities.

• Teens going into Years 11-12 can be considered ‘senior apprentices’, they could take on specific responsibilities partnered with an older team member of the same sex.

• Teens mostly rely on their parents for transport so communicating well, in writing, helps these families plan.

• Communicating with HBC Youth kids is best done via a social media group (FB group) where the parents are invited to join and be part of the communications to the whole section (they’re great at collecting recyclables for craft activities too).

We love having these kids attend WAVE, it is a great witness to these families that Jesus loves all people, even those that are often difficult to love. Should a child require specific 1-on-1 supervision then this will come from a specially recruited ADDITIONAL NEEDS team so your section is not put under strain.

We’d love to hear them! Sned your questions into wave@hunterbiblechurch.org or ask on the Facebook WAVE Team group.
