Task Force Roles

Task Force Roles

Putting on a Perspectives class is a team effort! Every coordinator needs a group of dedicated team members doing their part to put on a successful class. There are a number of ways to serve the local Perspectives movement. Here is a quick look at the different Task Force (volunteer) Roles that every Perspectives class needs to have filled before running a class. Check out this list and see if there is a role that fits your skills and abilities and your heart to serve.

Coordinator: The point person for the local Perspectives team.  This person works behind the scenes to provide leadership and oversee everything the task force is doing, and may need to fill some of the other roles.   This role requires training from a Perspectives Coordinator Workshop.

Facilitator: Someone with pastor/teacher/encourager giftings to motivate and mentor students along will fit well in this role. This person will facilitate the class and be the main one interacting with students.

Grading Supervisor: This person will oversee and teach graders the grading system and work with the professor of record.

Administrator: This role needs someone with administrative giftings to pull together finances, logistics and other class details. This person should be comfortable with e-mail and using the internet.

Instructor Care: This role needs someone with hospitality and administrative giftings to arrange hospitality and travel for the Instructors. If the class is in a loop, the Area Supervisor will often invite the instructors. If not, this person may invite the instructors.

Recruiting: There will ideally be two people focused on this - one heading up campus/college student recruiting and one leading the church recruiting efforts.

Prayer: This person would gather and update a prayer team for the class, the instructors, and the rest of the team. They could also lead the weekly class prayer for the nations.

Follow Up: This role would focus on follow up and personal application throughout the class; making sure students have ways to begin using what they are learning. Ideally this person could gather a team and have a plan for how to follow up with students after the class ends.

Hospitality: This role needs someone who can oversee the supply and set up for the class snack/break time

Operations: This person would oversee the facility operations and instructor a/v needs during class

Worship: This person would lead the class worship times

Academic Review and Program Enrichment: This could be two people. They would be sure that quality, creative, and mainly interactive reviews happen each week and oversee enrichment activities for class.
