PREP Team

Program Description:

PREP Team: Pursuing Responsibility and Excellence Purposefully. The role of a PREP Team member is very similar to that of an RSA. PREP Team members will have the opportunity to receive training while they serve. The team will be very busy with their Tour Prep tasks. In an effort to keep things running, the PREP team will be responsible for cooking, indoor and outdoor facility maintenance, grocery shopping and more. In addition, there are several special events that take place during Tour Prep such as commissioning. For these events the PREP Team will decorate, set up and serve, for up to 100 guests. Unique to other ICC training opportunities, the PREP team will also get a behind the scenes perspective of the team and how a conference comes together. This program is highly recommended to anyone interested in applying to intern or simply interested in serving. PREP Team is an overall excellent way to learn while serving others.

Eligibility:

Age 15 at time of PREP (with preference given to ages 16+)
Completed Phase 2 of the YSG
Attended two training events (CFC or FTF) plus a national ICC event (ie., IGNITE Winter Retreat or International Convention) within the last twelve months
Complete the Liability Waiver/Medical Release Form
Have your Chapter Sponsor fill out a Recommendation Form
AC/SC Online Recommendation submitted by State Coordinator (where applicable) and Area Coordinator

Logistics:

Fee: The cost of participating in the PREP TEAM is a fee of approximately $15/day of servant leadership training, food, transportation to and from events and accommodations, for a 9-23 day training period.

Prep Week(s) Dates: The dates for the 2012 Tour Prep are June 24 – August 6. Over the course of these six weeks we will have three different PREP Teams. Each team will overlap by eight days. This will give the previous team a chance to train the new team and it will provide extra hands for the bigger events.

Team One

June 24-July 16

$360

This team arrives a week before the Interns and gets to work with the Summer Staff to prepare for the team’s arrival. This is always an exciting time and we like to try to make it special for the Interns. Team One (with the help of Team Two) will also assist with the National Leadership Team Meeting.

Team Two

July 9-22

$225

This team will arrive just in time to help Team One with the National Leadership Team Meeting and will stay to help the team with preparations for their event in TX.

Team Three

July 29-August 6

$150

This team may have a shorter stay but they will have just as much work to do! Intern Family Commissioning (August 3-5) is one of the biggest events of Tour Prep and we won’t be able to pull it off without the help of PREP Team Three! Each Intern Family comes for a weekend of food, celebration and entertainment as they preview everything their Interns have been working on and the PREP Team gets to help make this special for everyone involved. It is a great opportunity to get a taste of all the Intern Team has to accomplish during prep.

PREP Team Leader: We are also looking for one male applicant and up to two female applicants to come for the entirety of June 17-August 6 to serve as PREP Team Leaders. The male leader will be in charge of collecting all the manly tasks and jobs that need to be done and delegating them out to the other male PREP members. The female leader will be in charge of creating a menu, keeping a grocery list, and overall running the kitchen. These are constant jobs that require delegation and often rotation schedules. The role of PREP Team leader is a great opportunity to learn what it is like to be a leader to your peers, a very challenging role. The Summer Staff will be working closely with PREP Team leaders to guide them through this process. PREP Team Leaders receive a 10% discount making their total $594. If you are interested in this position please email LeaderApp@iccinc.org and tell us a) why you are interested and b) why think you are qualified for the job.

Transportation: PREP Team members are responsible for their transportation to and from PREP. However, those flying in will be offered transportation to and from the Nashville, TN airport.
