In January, RENEW.org launched 2 online Learning Communities for Youth Leaders. The Renew Youth Leader LC (LearningCommunity) is a group of 6-12 youth leaders in a given region who commit to renewing themselves and those they serve by meeting together every 2 months for 2.5 hours of study, prayer, and small group discussion that focuses on both their personal and ministry journeys.
The purpose of the Youth Leader LC is to engage and encourage youth workers, to provide a safe space to reflect on what they are doing and who they are becoming in the process, and to challenge them to continually return to the teachings of Jesus. Contact Chris Irwin for information about joining at Youth Leader LC.
