Volunteer

The Denver Street School is an evangelical Christian ministry dedicated to the belief that faith in Jesus Christ and obedience to His Word and commands is the solution to the problems that face students. He is the only one who can truly give them hope and purpose for their future.

Most of our students do not come from homes where the love of Christ or a godly lifestyle is exhibited. Drug and alcohol abuse and sexual promiscuity are often the norm. In fact, DSS faculty, staff, and volunteers may be the only positive, Christ-like example and influence that students have encountered. It is therefore imperative that DSS volunteers, as believers, exhibit a Godly lifestyle and example while modeling Christ’s redeeming and life-changing power. It is understood that believers differ in the particulars of this according to personal conviction and their own upbringing. The following however, are the standards for the Denver Street School volunteers.

• Volunteers of DSS are never to engage in the use, sale, or distribution of any illegal drug or substance.

• Volunteers are not to engage in the consumption of tobacco products of any kind in the presence of students. Furthermore, they are not to advocate or make light of tobacco use to any members of the student body.

• Volunteers are to refrain from the use of swear or curse words.

• Volunteers of DSS are not to engage in or advocate premarital or extramarital sex. To avoid even the appearance of sin, unrelated individuals of opposite genders should not cohabit.

• The vast majority of DSS students come from alcoholic families and backgrounds. Volunteers of DSS should never consume alcohol in the presence of students. Furthermore, they are not to advocate or make light of alcohol use to any members of the student body.
