Encourage and build each other up
YOUTH LEADERS
Youth leaders are absolutely essential to make the youth rally happen!
Thank you for putting your passion for encouraging youth into practice. We have tons of information whether you are a Youth Leader (YL) at your church or the designated rally Contact Youth Leader (CYL).
You’ll be responsible for your group at the rally, but we also have some amazing sessions planned for you to take home important information on youth ministry. We hope you get as much out of the youth rally as the teens you are shepherding.
Stay tuned for the latest info on Facebook and Instagram. Plus, check out our Facebook group for Youth Leaders to connect.
