Youth Development
Between the ages of 8-18, lots of beliefs and habits are created and formed. These lead to decisions that affect the career, family and life trajectories of the youngest generation. Parents play the most important role in mentoring and caring for youth in these formative years. However, there is also a great opportunity for those gifted in youth development to have a huge impact in helping to teach and shape the emerging generation.

The placements in this track are ways that you can invest your background, training and passion for youth into the lives of those with the least access to the gospel.
