The all-new website- www.myyouthworklife.org - seeks to serve
Youthworkers and those involved in Youth ministry across the country with
practical advice, well-honed examples, and top tips to all aspects of Youth
work and ministry amongst older children and young people.
Providing a plethora of articles
written by over 30 passionate and experienced Youthworkers- many with decades
of experience of working with teenagers, Myyouthworklife.org provides insight
and guidance on key themes such as The World of a Young person, How to engage
with Secondary Schools, Effectively discipling young people, Working with
Volunteers, Mapping your community, and Young people and Social Media and many
more relevant and significant themes within Youth ministry today.
Borne out of a partnership
between The Department of Lay Ministry at Ridley Hall Cambridge, The Diocese of
Ely, and the Eastern Baptist Association, the website seeks to provide an
entry-point for many Youthwork Practitioners to be further equipped in their
youth work by means of using the website as a flexible training tool, to dip in
and out of, or read through with a more structured approach.
The Editing team of www.myyouthworklife.org suggest that ‘the richness and the USP of this website is
that it brings through the voice of one passionate Youthworker talking as if
person-to-person to those that will read their articles. This no-nonsense
training tool is already equipping many Youthworkers around the country to
inspire and engage them in their learning, and pointing them to new ideas, ways
of thinking, and further training if needed.’
The website, which is constantly
being added to with new training material in response to aspects of Youth
culture and prevalent issues within Youth ministry, is free to access and all
material can be downloaded as printable PDF’s for the benefit of Youth teams
who may wish to engage with programmes of learning together.
