Restart Retreat
Early on in the formation of the team was a month of Christmas break. Our applications were recently processed and we were cleared for volunteer orientation with serving in the prison soon to follow. We didn't want to lose the momentum gained so far nor jump into the ministry if the team had disengaged during break.
Solution?
Take the team on a short retreat at the beginning of the semester, also known as our "Restart Retreat." This would allow some time to refocus on the ministry, build team unity and buy-in from the volunteers, host a speaker who has decades of experience working in the prison, and create a team covenant.
