Chaplaincy Award
🎖️ Chaplaincy Award
The Chaplaincy Award is for students who feel called to serve as volunteer chaplains in various settings, including hospitals, military units, correctional facilities, first responder services, nursing homes, and more (we recommend checking in your local context what requirements are needed to be a chaplain in your desired setting/location since this can vary). This award offers foundational training in spiritual care, interpersonal ministry, prayer, evangelism, and relationship support, preparing you to walk with people through life's most critical and vulnerable moments.
