SLAC (STEP Leadership Action Committee): An ACTIVE group of people under the direction of staff who help lead in specific areas within mentoring programs to (1) more purposefully involve the body of Christ in the ministry & (2) to allow staff to focus attention on relationship-building with mentors and children.  Volunteers can choose a committee to (1) be a regular committee member, giving leadership to that committee or (2) be an occasional volunteer for a committee, providing necessary support to that ministry area.  The SLAC Committee Areas are as follows:
