WHAT WE WANT FOR YOU

BE BETTER

Leaders are learners. Period. If you’re leading, you’re always learning. So why not learn from the best and have them personally invest in you being better.

DREAM AGAIN

Youth Worker Community Cohorts are designed to feed your soul and mind, and create intentional space for you to dream again about what God has for your and the church you serve.

GAIN PEOPLE

We were never meant to do life or ministry alone. And yet, we know ministry can be incredibly lonely. You’ll gain a community of people who are doing what you do, passionate about what you’re passionate about and committed to growing with you. What could be better?

OVERVIEW

 

Through the Youth Worker Community Coaching Cohort, the Youth Worker Community team will journey with you and you focus on what’s most essential in helping develop a healthy, impactful youth ministry. Our advanced training model brings together leaders that are committed to growing and learning for 9 months through: 

Youth ministry assessment which will help you identify your strengths and weaknesses as well as help your coach strategize with you for personalized growth.

Monthly digital meet-ups that dive into essential skills and topics, and help you create a plan to implement new strategies in your ministry. You’ll hear directly from leading scholars and practitioners.

Interactive peer learning from other leaders desiring to grow and make greater impact in their sphere of influence. We’ve seen that community with like-minded leaders is very impactful. 

9 months of personalized coaching from experienced leaders and practitioners that are committed to your growth and ministry success. 

Access to leaders and experts from various professional spaces. Youth Worker Community has built an incredible network of leaders throughout North America in order to give Cohort members holistic learning. 

And more … because as we learn the unique needs of the leaders coming into each Coaching Cohort we work hard to address those specific needs and bring the resources and expertise needed.
