Growing Leaders - Youth Edition provides a range of resources to develop young people in leadership. It recognises the key role young people can play now, but will also ensure strong and effective leaders for the future by providing development opportunities in their formative years.
If you are considering running the course, please look at our training days.
Young people who a church or youth leader feels would benefit from the course should be invited to a relaxed exploration of the course, with an explanation of its aims and how it works.
The course is designed to run over two terms, with a total of eight monthly session. We suggest that throughout the course each participant is supported by a mentor, with meetings between each session. We also have more information on the mentoring aspect of the course.
