The Role of Co-Chair
Co-Chairs serve as a vital source of leadership for the ministry of Impact. Their primary function is to prepare counselors for their role of serving and leading the incoming class. Additionally, you will build unity, fellowship and an attitude of service within your camp, all in an effort to display a glimpse of community to the incoming class while ultimately aiming to connect students to the body of Christ at Texas A&M and Blinn.
