Leadership

the GO project
The leaders

Unique Churches require unique leadership.

Four on site GO Project staff will facilitate the entire program, leaving youth ministers and group leaders the opportunity to share in the program with their youth.

Adult Leaders - How often do you find a program that you can arrive to and be a part of the experience with your youth?

Sending leaders with even the smallest of groups;

  • Allows youth an adult who can facilitate conversations about their home community.
  • Allows youth a home face during a challenging and unique program.
  • Enables the experience to be integrated more fully after the project ends.

The GO Project knows that not all churches have formal youth groups and programs.  We want every youth to participate in the program and therefore allow groups smaller than 3 participants to come without leadership. 
Here are some unique ways to find a leader:

  • Talk to your Presbytery about hiring a leader for two weeks who will accompany a group from your Presbytery.
  • Talk to your conference to form a larger contingent that might travel together with  paid conference leader
  • Connect with another church to see if a group from 2 or more congregations who might attend
  • Ask non United Church friends to come with you!
Groups larger than five youth need to abide by the following standards for leadership.  If possible, male and female leaders should represent your group, if your group is mixed in gender.
  • 1 leader for every 5 youth under the age of 16
  • leader for every 7 over the age of 16
