This six-month youth leadership symposium will prepare youth to lead in local congregations and support them in designing and implementing their own project for their home Church. This is not a leadership team, but rather a leadership lab where High School age leaders can explore their gifts, receive wisdom from other leaders, and imagine new possibilities for their local congregation.
Participants can attend through “Pod” locations in their geographic area, or via Zoom where participants will form their own cohorts.
