Capacity
Increase the capacity of your youth ministry by developing a better more equipped volunteer staff.
The capacity of your youth ministry is not determined by the number of students who attend your weekly programs but by the ability of your volunteer staff to engage in meaningful mentoring relationships. Unfortunately most full time youth workers do not have a comprehensive plan for developing and maintaining an effective volunteer staff. Capacity will teach you the six key steps for identifying, training, and equipping your youth ministry team.
Who should attend?
Capacity is for anyone interested in helping their volunteer staff effectively challenge students toward spiritual growth. We designed this even with you in mind. The focus is not on big crowds, big bands, and lots of hype. The focus is on you. You meet with a small group of 6-10 other youth workers. As a group you will discover what it takes to have an effective volunteer development strategy for your ministry. You will leave with a specific plan you can implement the day you get home.
What will it include?
- Examination of the capacity of your youth ministry.
- Discussion of the LeaderTreks model of volunteer staff development.
- Understanding of how to equip, activate, and evaluate volunteers.
- Development of a personalized plan for youth ministry volunteers.
- Personalized coaching and ongoing training.
What will the results be?
We want you to know that your time at LeaderTreks will be very valuable. You will walk away with a renewed confidence in your personal leadership abilities and a comprehensive plan for developing an effective volunteer team. This plan will allow you to manage a ministry team that will greatly improve your capacity for student ministry.
