TeenStreet brings together a great team of people.
You could be one of them!
Come and serve with us – 2nd – 8th August 2025 at Capernwray Hall, Carnforth.
TeenStreet UK as an event cannot happen without the generous and sacrificial support of the Service Team.
The Service Team consists of anyone 18 and over, some these roles are behind the scenes and others work directly with the teens. This includes housekeeping, night patrol, setting up ahead of the event, organising sports …. the list goes on. Some teens have come away from a week at TeenStreet and been most impacted by the people sacrificing their time to clean up after them!
We appreciate the work the service team do, and would like to build into their lives at the same time. This starts with our pre-event training, details of which can be found below.
During the week of TeenStreet service team members can look forward to having fun with their team and participating in small group Bible studies together. Come and make new friends, join in with exciting games and activities, and enjoy the after-hours mocktail bar and lounge!
Service Team Roles
If you are 18+ and would like to be on the Service Team, you could be involved in any of these areas:
- Activities Team (sports, games and other daily activities)
- Arts Team (encouraging teens to express themselves creatively)
- Night Shepherds (Night Watch Team)
- The Beehive Café Team
- Housekeeping (dining hall, general cleaning/tidying)
- First Aider
What to expect on a team
Activities Team (Sports)
The Activities team organise and run a fun and varies activities programme for the week, including sports, games and lots of other fun things! This team are supported by the Activities Team Lead and the Programme Team Lead who they will meet with regularly during the week. The team will also be involved in running our RAG (Raise and Give) event one afternoon.
Arts Team
The Arts team will encourage teens to explore various art forms and express themselves creatively in a quieter space. The Art Zone will be open during the afternoons, so there will be time to join in with the programme and hang out with other Service Team as well.
Night Shepherds (Night Watch Team)
The Night Watch Team will be responsible for ensuring the site is kept quiet and safe during the night. They will work together with the Small Group Leaders to ensure all teens are in their rooms and quiet after “lights out”.
The Beehive Café Team
The Beehive Staff serve soft drinks and ice cream each evening. Staff will spend time interacting with teens and adult, talking, and making drinks and milkshakes, and serving ice cream. Each team member will be trained in The Beehive, and required to complete a Level 1 Food Hygiene certificate ahead of the event.
Housekeeping Team
The Housekeeping Team will help to ensure the Dining Hall is tidies after meal times and kept clean during free time. They will also help to ensure the communal areas are kept clean and tidy throughout the week.
First Aiders
First Aiders must have an up to date First Aid certificate. They look after injuries throughout the week and keep an up-to-date record in the logbook. The First Aid Team Lead will coordinate the team to ensure someone is on duty at all times during the day, and available overnight in an emergency; particularly if a trip to A&E is needed.
Small Group Leaders
Teenagers need a caring adult as a listening ear, example, authority figure and challenge-giver. Each Small Group Leader is responsible for the teens in one small group which consists of up to six teenagers of the same gender.
Small Group Leaders are always in pairs and are responsible for leading the Small Group times (Bible study and small group time), meeting with their group in free time, keeping their teens accountable, spending personal time with each teen and being a friend.
Each Small Group Leader will meet with their Ministry & Mentoring team (M&Ms) each day and will have access to training and other resources both during and ahead of the event.
Small Group Leaders must be over 18, love Jesus and be ready for an intense adventure!
Contrary to what many people believe, this generation of teens desires to connect with people that have some experience in life. This can be missing in their home life as some do not have good adult role models.
Small Group Leaders are a vital part of TeenStreet UK’s purpose. TeenStreet UK aims to build up Churches by providing a positive community for teens to be part of throughout the year, and this is done through the youth leaders. TeenStreet UK provides a unique opportunity for youth leaders to really interact with their youth and develop a trusting relationship. We want the interaction between teens and their leaders to continue after the event, as part of our year-round vision.
Application Process
If you would like to volunteer for the service team or as a Small Group Leader or Assistant Small Group Leader, make sure you sign up on our registration system which will enable us to process your details and request for a particular team.
Every adult at TeenStreet UK is required to provide details of a referee who we will contact. Other required checks will also be completed before approving the application, such as DBS check. You will then be directed to the place where you can pay whatever fees are due.
DBS Checks
Every adult onsite at TeenStreet UK is required to have a valid enhanced DBS certificate. If you have a valid and relevant DBS that is on the update service we may be able to accept this.
If you apply to serve at TeenStreet UK and do not have a current and relevant DBS on the update service, you will be contacted with further details. There will be a charge of £15 for this service and we recommend that you register it with the update service so as to be valid for future TeenStreet UK events.
Pre-event Training
We want to help you be the most effective member of the Service Team you can be!

Training sessions are required for you to come to TeenStreet, and we will ask for your availability during the application process.

You do not need to attend Small Group Leaders’ training if you are not working directly with teens.
