We are so excited to host another Youth Leaders Retreat in partnership with Download Youth Ministry's National Day of Volunteer Training! This will be an amazing retreat designed specifically for Youth Pastors AND their entire youth leadership team. Together we will hang out at Pondo; getting in depth training, insights and helpful resources to help you reach students in today’s culture.
Our heart for this retreat is to create space to allow you and your team plenty of individual group time to celebrate and debrief about the past year of ministry and set you up to plan, prepare and pray for the future together. This will be something you don't want to miss! Hope we’ll see you there!
• Learn practical and helpful tips/strategies for ministering to students
• Strengthen the way you work and relate together
• Celebrate, pray over and plan for the future of your ministry
• Take part in activities and create memories together as a team
• Enjoy a special 5-star dining experience from Chef Rob Frida Night
• Invest in yourself and your volunteer team
• Connect with like-minded youth leaders from other ministries
Our hope with this retreat is that you would bring your entire youth volunteer team however, if your whole team can’t join, there’s still benefits for you to come on your own!
