To help young adults become leaders,
not only among their peers but also within the larger community. Young
adults recognize that training
is
central to competency. They have been trained for their job, profession or
trade. They continuously attend
workshops and seminars to
increase
their knowledge and skills. They expect
to be managed with competence and treated with respect and
dignity. For the growth of the
Church,
continuing education is also necessary. Young adults who volunteer time
for parish ministry will need to
learn more about the Church
and to
develop the necessary ministerial skills by:
- Attending
the leadership training for young adults in
peer ministry. Various workshops are sponsored by the diocese and can be
offered
at parishes or campuses upon request. To schedule a training at your
parish/campus, contact the Office for Young Adult Ministry at
858-490-8260. Check
www.YAMSD.org
often for upcoming training dates and times.
- Taking advantage of personal
development opportunities offered at your parish. Check your parish
bulletin/website for more details.
- Attending the 'How to Start and Grow a YAM at
your Campus and Parish Training' to obtain information on
starting a ministry,
building core teams, planning activities, and working with volunteers.
- Familiarize yourself with your parish
young adult leaders and become involved.
- Making sure the teachings and
traditions of the Church are being implemented.
- Developing a plan so your young adult
core team is constantly sharpening their leadership skills. Discuss topics
that include the faith
and life development of young adults and principles for ministry with young
adults.
