CHANGE LIVES BY SERVING WITH JEWELS

If you have a heart to make a difference in the lives of those in the adult entertainment field, in the Salt Lake and Ogden areas, please consider joining our team.

Below is a listing of the positions to volunteer. If you have a talent in any of these areas, please consider volunteering for Jewels. We would love to talk with you about it!

Gift Prep Volunteers gather together and prepare gifts for those we are serving at a Gift Prep Party that is being hosted at a designated time, space, and person/group/church.

Responsibilities:

  1. Attend as many gift preps as possible. The more volunteers we have the faster we can prepare the gifts. If you are unable to come, please inform the Gift Prep Host that you will not be able to attend.
  2. Care and attention: We are creating gifts with love to show those we are serving that they are loved and valued.  Remember that each gift is going to be handed to someone who is very special so handle the gifts with care and attention.
  3. Have fun: Gift Preps are a community event, so take time to build relationships, and have fun while putting the gifts together.

The Gift Prep Host invites volunteers as well as oversees the gift prep events. Hosts provide gift making ideas, materials, and direction on what gift the party will be putting together for all 9 clubs for outreach. This person is also responsible for connecting with a Jewels ministry leader and ensuring that all materials needed to prepare the gifts are ready before the Gift Prep begins.

Responsibilities:

  1. Each gift should be responsive to requests of those we serve and/or in line with the season/upcoming holidays.
  2. Purchase items or collaborate with volunteers to donate/bring items to make gifts. Please make sure if doing individual gifts there are enough for each club. We reach 450 individuals on outreach. If you would like to make club gifts for bar staff and dancers, make sure to make 18 group gifts to give to the dressing rooms and bar staff at each of the 9 clubs. 
  3. Not every gift will be the same, so be prepared to direct and lead volunteers. Be clear and informative on what needs to go into the creation or preparation of each gift. 
  4. Keep in communication with volunteers via email, text or verbal communication and let them know when the event is in advance. But, remember to be patient, as not everyone who says they will be coming to help out will come. Keep that in mind when deciding what gifts to assemble or provide.
  5. Set up all materials to help volunteers work effectively. Perform quality control to make sure the gifts will give a good impression of Jewels, or delegate the task to a volunteer. Ensure all gifts are stored securely, and in a manner that they will remain presentable.

Networkers are involved in relationship building with those interested in partnering with Jewels (both individuals and organizations), connecting with similar ministries, and helping any potential partners to truly understand what we do. Fundraisers are pursuing donations in various forms that meet Jewels current needs.

Responsibilities:

  1. Focused and growth oriented: Networkers must be strategic and focused. The core of networking is regularly doing something specific that is focused on helping Jewels grow.
  2. Be intentional: Make plans that are focused on building new relationships and maintaining existing relationships.
  3. Fundraising: Be intentional with individuals, groups of people, organizations, or churches who may be interested in donating to Jewels. Donations may include finances, clothing, gas cards, and other miscellaneous necessities for those we serve.

Jewels main outreaches consist of going to 9 strip clubs located from Ogden to Salt Lake City to bring gifts to dancers and bar staff as a way to show the love of Jesus and bring the message of love and value. The outreaches are conducted by volunteers who serve together to accomplish the goals and mission of Jewels by giving of their time as often as possible to serve and create relationships. This ministry is all about relationship building. At least one Board member of Jewels is to be at each outreach.

Responsibilities:

  1. Volunteers will need to sign a Consent and Confidentiality Form. This is to keep all names and identities of anyone we see at the clubs confidential. We never share with anyone outside of the Jewels organization personal identifying information. At each outreach, volunteers need to sign the Consent/Release/Hold Harmless form. This is to ensure that each volunteer understands they are attending outreach at their own risk and we cannot guarantee safety or outcomes all though we do have safety protocols and security at each outreach. Only women volunteers are allowed in the clubs. Men volunteers are only allowed in parking lots and not inside the clubs. 
  2. Jewels outreaches are a late night ministry that happens from 8pm – 1am and each volunteer who decides to participate should strive to attend as many events as possible. Relationships build better with consistency. When volunteering at an outreach, please be there on time and stay for the entire duration of the outreach.  If you sign up to volunteer at an outreach and can’t make it please give us a 24 hour notice so we can find other volunteers. Each outreach must consist of 3 ladies to deliver gifts inside the clubs and 3 men to provide security for the ladies volunteering while walking through the parking lots.
  3. Outreaches are usually between 3-5 hours. Please dress appropriately for the weather and season.

Those involved with security at Jewels events and outreaches are to ensure the safety of the volunteers that are going into the clubs, protect them from any physical or mental harm, and assist them in situations that may make them feel uncomfortable or threatened.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  1. OUTREACH SECURITY: Each team should consist of no less than 3 male security volunteers for the women on a team to deliver gifts inside clubs.
  2. BE AWARE: Upon arrival, be aware of the surroundings. Identify all people in proximity to the Care Team. Be attentive to their actions.
  3. STANDARD OPERATIONS: Security volunteers are to keep close to our team of women that is going into the clubs.
    1. There always must be one Security volunteer outside of the vehicle until all women volunteers are back in the vehicle safely.
    2. Walk them to the door and survey the surroundings. Stay close to the entrance.
    3. Have your phone accessible in case you are called to assist the team in exiting the club safely.
    4. When the women outreach volunteers exits the club, walk them back to the vehicle they came in.
  4. BE ENGAGED: When waiting for the team to finish their activities in the club, be ready to engage in conversation with customers outside. Security volunteers must be able to articulate the purpose for Jewels visit to the club.

The Care Team is a group of women and men who are available to connect with and serve those Jewels reaches in the adult entertainment industry with their spiritual questions or interests. Care Team volunteers are paired with same sex individuals and are able to meet, build relationships, and connect to any needed resources.

Responsibilities:

  1. Care Team volunteers are to be regularly available to connect and engage with anyone who reaches out to Jewels. (same sex) Anyone who volunteers as a Care Team member must be trauma informed.
  2. Be able to listen and encourage: When someone reaches out for the first time or the tenth time, they may be nervous. When meeting someone, always remember to be a good listener and only speak only when needed. The best counselors listen 80% of the time and only speak 20%. You are to encourage, and if possible help them to gain greater insight into their lives.
  3. We are here to help others know they are loved and valued, but we are NOT here to fix them. It is God’s role to save them, not ours. We encourage being the example of what healthy boundaries, relationships, and communication looks like. We are to empower and not enable. 
  4.  The ministry is a team effort and we never want anyone to feel alone. Reach out to ministry leaders to encourage, pray, support and brainstorm ideas or situations. We are a team and need each other and encouragement too!
