One of the things I did as soon as I was full time was develop a Leadership Team. They OWN what we do and they lead a lot of things that we do. They even come up with a ton of ideas for games, events and outreach opportunities. When I first started in YM, I was a solo shooter. God has since humbled me and shown me the utter importance of team.<BR/><BR/> The hard part for me NOW is I'm losing the team I created...my leaders are moving and my super independent students are graduating.

Being purposeful and prayerful in the people you choose and develop to help relieve the burden of running a successful youth program can do wonders for your effectiveness. I am a huge advocate of this principal, even to the point that developing the youth into the leaders and allowing the adult volunteers to be your eyes and ears over different areas. It creates ownership and gives you more time to concentrate on the vision God has given you for the youth.<BR/><BR/>Just my two cents.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06424062548483956447noreply@blogger.com
