Description
We are seeking Mentors for the flagship programs for the Lynchburg Area branch of the national Young Storytellers organization, which is a free, volunteer-based non-profit organization that provides underserved youth with the opportunity to create their own stories (short scripts) and to see them performed by local actors.
Tuesdays starting February 25- April 29
Skip April 15
Resource time (YST Class length): 45 mins
3pm – 3:45pm
Mentors present for 2 hours each class:
2:30pm – 4:30pm
**If your student requires more hours, there are plenty of other tasks I could use help with that we can work into their time and duties. There will also be a required in-person training, asynchronous training, and some from-home prep work**
Liberty Spring Break
March 7-14
**If non-local student mentors need to skip spring break week, that is fine, but we need a commitment for all other weeks.**
Students: 5th Graders (6 – 8 total)
This program serves older elementary schoolers (typically 9 – 11-year-olds), with one Head Mentor (me) who oversees each program on and off-site and provides the lead teaching role for each class session, as well as 5 mentors. Since we will be placing this program in 2 schools next semester, we will need 10 university students/community members total to serve as mentors, though one LU student is welcome to work at both sites. Days and times are still TBD as we solidify details with our school partners. We are hoping to have the details solidified by the end of the month. Programs will most likely run from January / February – April / May, possibly for a bit less time.
Mentors needed: 6 – 8 total
(2 already hired, 4 – 6 more mentors needed)
The Mentors will serve as the youth’s “glorified secretaries” (writing down their scripts as they dictate), their best friends/confidantes within the program, and their #1 cheerleaders! They will also help me with classroom management, leading games, and doing support tasks outside of class meetings as needed/desired. Mentors will be provided with group training by me at the beginning of the session, will be provided with a few mentor feedback and bonding experiences per session, and are always welcome to discuss any ideas or concerns with me openly before, after, and throughout the session. We will also be looking for local actors to perform the students’ scripts for The Big Show at the end of each session. While we cannot provide actors with 20 hours of volunteer time, we could allow a mentor to also serve as an actor if desired. Actors do not have to be professionally trained.
Actors also needed for 4/22 Big Show, timing TBD + 1 rehearsal on 3/11 from 2:45pm – 4:30pm. Number of actors needed TBD.
We are ideally looking for Theatre students/actors, though Education and Creative Writing students would be good matches too (as long as the writers can be animated and larger-than-life when needed!). Any students in none of those fields with a passion for working with youth in a fun, meaningful, and creative way would be wonderful matches for our program as well.
One value that is of integral importance to both the Young Storytellers’ and the Academy’s mission statements is that each student feels welcome, accepted, and in a safe space to express who they are and tell their own story without judgment regardless of beliefs, religion, politics, sexual identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, immigration status, country of origin, gender, socioeconomic status, family situation, disability, and any other identities I may have failed to list here. Mentors and students are paired randomly.
We hope to work with some of you for our Young Storytellers program! It should be a fun and meaningful experience for all involved! We’re super excited to get this started, and hope you will be too!

Your Role as an Online Christian Mentor:
Mentor 1-2 students (especially young males): You’ll meet with students online for Bible study, discipleship, and encouragement.
Be a role model: Share your faith, experiences, and guidance to help these students build a strong foundation in Christ.
Commitment: 2 hours per week for 3 months.
Why Join Us?
Spiritual Impact: Be part of something eternal by helping young believers deepen their relationship with Jesus.
Flexible & Remote: Mentor online from the comfort of your dorm, home, or favorite coffee shop!
Unique Challenges: Online mentoring requires creativity, adaptability, and problem solving as you connect with students in new ways.
What We’re Looking For:
A heart for ministry, a commitment to sound doctrine and theology, and a passion for working with young Christians.
Strong communication skills, consistency, and a willingness to walk alongside students in their faith journey.
Male mentors are especially needed to connect with and disciple young male middle and high school students.

Waters Edge Church is excited to offer online CSER opportunities (up to 20 hours) suitable for any schedule. Our Online Campus has experienced significant growth over the past two years, creating a space for meaningful discipleship and support within our online community.
We offer engaging roles on Sundays, where volunteers actively participate in live online services, and weekday support roles, designed for task-oriented volunteers. Our team’s main goal is to support our community as they come to know and love Jesus. In fact, in 2023, 84 members decided to give their life to Jesus through our online campus. This may not have happened without our volunteer team. If you’re eager to make an impact with a team actively growing the Lord’s Kingdom, we’d be thrilled to have you!
