Supervision as Discipleship: Forming Interns, Staff, and New Youth Pastors for the Long Haul

The first years of youth ministry often decide whether a young leader stays in ministry for the long haul. Supervising that season well takes more than handing over a to-do list. In this seminar, we'll look at what interns, staff, and new youth pastors need from their supervisors: clear expectations, regular feedback, room to try and fail, and someone who cares about their soul as much as their performance. You'll walk away with practical tools for structuring supervision meetings, having honest conversations when things go sideways, and building a relationship that shapes a healthy, lifelong minister. You'll also get a first look at new tools YWC is developing to support supervisors and the people they're shaping.
