Youth Leader Training Course

5th-7th July 2024

 

 YOUTH LEADER TRAINING COURSE – NOW FREE TO ATTEND!

The powerful messages delivered at the GA, first by Roman Krznaric’s Keynote Address “How can we become good ancestors?”, and then again in the Anniversary Service led by our Rev Ant Howe, expressed that Unitarianism is very much at a crossroads. For our survival, we, as a cohesive denomination, need to be vested in empowering the future of tomorrow – our Youth & Families Ministries. We have been so heartened by the enthusiastic take-up of our residential Youth Programmes, getting young people off their phones and together in person, in the wild, but we are still very short on actual Youth Leaders to help run these programs.

Our first Youth Leader Training Course, in conjunction with the GA, centred around a weekend at the Nightingale Centre, Great Hucklow, Derbyshire is being held on Friday, 5th to Sunday, 7th July. All costs of training and accommodation is now completely FREE due to generous bursaries, so money should not be a barrier.

Join us at our upcoming zoom Meeting at 7pm, next Thursday, 6th of June, arranged to answer any questions, and alleviate any doubts, you may have.

Celebrating diversity at Unitarian College Leeds with friendly attendees in colourful shirts. "The formation of the Unitarian College has opened up the possibility of ministry training to people like me, who otherwise would not have been able to study due to the confines of the modern life. As a modern institution UC is very much in touch with the reality. The training programme is tailor-made to fit each student’s individual circumstances. The content of the course is incredibly rich, covering a vast spectrum of topics, using various methods of teaching and student engagement. The ministry training programme perfectly balances being “down to earth” on one hand, and “looking up to the heavens” on the other, placing emphasis on the practical application of the acquired skills, knowledge and insights in the 21st century British Unitarian congregations. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that we still get the same rich learning experience under the restrictions posed by Covid.

But UC is much more than just an educational establishment. It’s a support network for those embarking on a journey of professional ministry. It’s a space where we, students, learn just as much from each other as we do from our tutors. It’s a space where new friendships are made and future professional relationships are formed."
