Recommend a youth for YOUTH LEADER. Contact Steffanie Beissel for more information.
YOUTH LEADERS are the youth leadership of St. John Vianney Parish... ...and YOU are invited to apply!
What does it mean to be a YOUTH LEADER?
It is an opportunity for high school youth to respond to their baptismal call to be a priest (servant), prophet (faith witness) and king (leader) among their peers in youth related events and activities at St. John Vianney Parish and in the community.
YOUTH LEADERS serve as leaders for youth groups (middle school and high school), music, retreats and more! Teens who serve as YOUTH LEADERS choose their commitment level and specific responsibilities. Some training and participation in a retreat are required for those interested.
Why should I get involved?
You should be a YOUTH LEADER if you possess the passion and courage to preserve and grow in your relationship with God, serve others, witness your faith (share and spread the Good News), and to build skills to be a leader. Whether you are extroverted or introverted you will develop valuable skills in working with others, communication, planning, problem solving, and implementing various opportunities for youth.
It is a good way to invest yourself in your church and community, as well as develop long-lasting friendships in both areas, thereby building skills and resources that will be useful for the rest of your life. Involvement is good for college applications, employment applications, resumes and other opportunities.
Who can be a YOUTH LEADER?
Any mature teen (grades 8-12).
