POSTION SUMMARY

A Word from Holden Host is anyone in the Holden community interested in sharing Holden’s story with their local community or congregation.  A Word from Holden is an event format which invites a Villager to share their Holden story as well as the current state of the Village with their community through a preset slide deck and optional script that guides the conversation. This opportunity is great for church communities who have sent groups to Holden, never heard of Holden or have deep Holden connections. Holden’s People and Culture Team meets with Volunteers to answer questions, support in scheduling and promoting these events and troubleshoot the slide deck beforehand. These events happen all over the U.S.

MAJOR FUNCTIONS

  • Connection to congregation / community to host the event
  • Availability and willingness to engage in planning a Holden event
  • Willingness to share personal Holden story and Holden Update

Education
