student leadership

Are you looking to grow the size and health of your youth ministry?
GrowYourYouthMinistry.com ***** Has your student leadership team become a clique within your youth group?  In this excerpt from an "Ask Me Anything" episode, we answer a question from Jesse Howell in regards to avoiding a student leadership team becoming an alienating group within your youth ministry. We unpack the dangers of creating a 'members only' clique and how that can disastrously impact a youth group's dynamics. If you're a youth pastor or involved in student ministry leadership, you'll discover how vital it is to build a culture of servant leadership, drawing inspiration from Jesus's example of service.

When a new student comes to our weekend service or midweek program, it's very natural for us as the youth pastor to go and welcome them.  If you have a solid volunteer team, they will more than likely go up and introduce themselves to the new student as well; however, what makes the biggest and best impression is when your students are the ones welcoming a new student and introducing themselves to them. In this episode, we give you some practical and actionable tips on how to equip your student leaders to actively welcome new students into your youth ministry so that they are more inclined to come back again and again.

School Strategies for Encouraging Civic Engagement & Volunteerism

Youth civic engagement and volunteerism are critical components of building and sustaining strong and vibrant communities. Participating in these activities helps us feel a sense of ownership, responsibility, and pride in the places where we live and work. Engaging today's students in volunteerism and civic action can be a significant challenge, particularly given the numerous distractions and pressures that exist in their daily lives.

As we look at the challenges of engaging younger demographics, some of the most significant obstacles we face are structural— but not insurmountable! To address issues of access, inclusion, resource limitations, and awareness that keep youth voting participation low and national rates of volunteerism falling, we must guarantee that the support structures we build around civic activity are designed to help students tackle real problems in their communities and experience the impact of their efforts.
