Ward TREK Directors

Ward TREK Directors will be managing and overseeing everything for TREK that happens on the ward level. They will be the face and go to person for their own ward! They will be trained by the Stake every step of the way. They will be responsible along with the Bishop to call and train people in their ward to serve in different capacities. They will be their ward TREK cheerleader! HOORAY! HOORAY!

Let the youth lead

We have been asked by the missionaries at Martin's Cove to let the youth lead and we agree! These youth are capable of amazing things! Use them in your planning, use their ideas and help them follow up to get assignments done. Your experience at TREK will be much more powerful for them and you if you let them lead!

When meeting with Ma's and Pa's or Committee Heads we suggest:

• Help them feel their assignment is from the Lord ("Rise To Your Call")
• Give them vision
• Give them clear objectives for what you want them to do
• Give them upcoming important dates and meetings
• Copying off the TREK "bible" and the pioneer stories booklet may be helpful
