Embrace Your Path
"After searching God’s Word in prayer, I found the Voice of the Middle Ground podcasts and they spoke to me as a Christian when the repetition of violent deaths in 2020 became too much for me to assimilate. In 2022 I was a Rev 7 Conference Participant and thereafter became a Voice of the Middle Ground Ambassador. I volunteered at the 2023 Rev 7 Conference.”
~ Sharon Kaniess, Volunteer Coordinator
Voice of the Middle Ground is a gospel-centered ministry that operates largely through volunteers and with the help of financial partners like you. Helping VotMG maintain an internal culture that models our external goals for building community, authenticity, and diversity, is the role of Volunteer Coordinator. This role is one that Sharon is uniquely qualified to fill because of her experience in the education and training sphere and also her activity and involvement in and with Voice of the Middle Ground's tools, opportunities, and resources. Sharon's heart for people and her ability to listen with empathy and to think strategically adds to her leadership skills in a way that further builds VotMG's internal structure in a holistic way that also contributes to our ability to make sure that the experience of volunteers is a positive one.
