Leaders

Mustard has an amazing group of volunteer leaders! Most of our lunchtime groups are facilitated by volunteer leaders and we take a crew with us to nearly every event we run.

If you’re interested in getting involved with Mustard, it would be great to hear from you. We have all sorts of different things that can be done, and we love to empower leaders to grow their gifts and skills. Below are some of the different ways that you can get involved in Mustard:

Every Lunchtime group looks a little different, some a big and loud, others are small and quiet. Our leaders are all really diverse too, and we’ve found that being a good leader has a lot more to do with faithfulness and character than it does with personality. Leaders are expected to attend the group once a week (for approximately an hour), have done the necessary preparation beforehand, attend Mustard training events once a year, and agree to abide by the Mustard code of conduct (including having a Working with Children Check). There is an interview process, where we’ll meet with you and chat in more detail about what it is we do and how we work and find out a little more about you as well. If you’re interested in finding out more about becoming a Lunchtime Group Leader, shoot an email through to corym@mustard.org.au or steph@mustard.org.au they’re the ones who look after the Lunchtime Groups.

If committing to a group every week doesn’t fit into your schedule, you might want to consider becoming a Mustard Live Leader. Mustard facilitates about 15 events per year at different schools around Melbourne. Some of the events are only for an hour or so and others can run over a period of weeks. So there’s lots of different options depending on your availability. There is an induction process for new leaders (including signing our code of conduct and getting a Working With Children’s Check) and we expect Mustard Live leaders to attend quarterly training and equipping events.
