Sponsorship
Each young person who attends Chrysalis has a "sponsor" who supports and encourages
him/her before, during, and after the Chrysalis experience.
Sponsorship is the way in which the Chrysalis experience is passed on from person to person, reflecting the manner in which God purposefully reaches out to people through other people. After a Chrysalis Weekend, participants want to share the gift of those three days with others. Sponsorship provides them a caring and disciplined way for them to share. And in doing so, sponsors participate in and demonstrate God's outreaching love.
Sponsorship is the most important job in the Chrysalis Movement. It is a job shared by the adults who have been through Emmaus and the young people who have been through Chrysalis. It is more than simply "signing youth up." The quality of sponsorship impacts the new participants, the health of the Chrysalis Movement in the area, and the churches being affected by Chrysalis.
