Taking good news to every young person in Bath

Young Leaders Scheme

NEW Flyer for 2012-13 YLS.  Download here and either pass to the Bath YFC youth worker you know or send in to the Bath YFC office.

Empowerment is one of the Bath YFC values and we believe in helping young people achieve their potential. Our vision is to see more young people leading. The YLS is for young people aged 15-18 who have expressed an interest in youth work, leadership and developing skills within a youth work context.

The aim of the YLS is to encourage, equip and empower young people to lead so that they will:

• Have opportunities to lead within the work of Bath YFC
• Grow in self confidence
• Develop as young leaders

• Gain new skills

The programme is for young people of faith or no faith. However if the young people have a faith then the YLS will be a great course for helping them move forward in their discipleship journey as it will help young people consider how they put their faith into action.

If you interested in the scheme then there is more information below. Please also feel free to contact James at the Bath YFC office.
