Youth Ministry Basics is a set of short training sessions for youth leaders. They're designed to be used in a time, place and way that suits your team. The aim is to prioritise training while keeping things simple and flexible.
You could run a session after church, before your youth programme begins, or during a regular team meeting. However you use them, these sessions help leaders reflect on why we do what we do with young people.
