extremely valuable. Know that important things are happening even if you can’t see them. The best time for action is now. We care very much about young people and we can play an important role in helping their lives go well. We can’t wait until we feel comfortable. Assume you know enough and are ready now. Become great friends with young people and help them organize today. Young people are the present, and together we are all the future. Enjoy! Young people are fun. They inspire us. They are full of hope. They remind us how important it is to play, to listen closely to people, to be tight friends. They push us to treat each other with complete respect. Follow their lead. Bring other adults along. Enjoy yourself. 2-d
Lesson Lesson 3: 3: Leadership Leadership Development Development 3-1 Leadership Development Youth groups can play a vital role in supporting young people to grow and build skills to succeed in their lives. While the adult may assume primary leadership of the group at its onset, part of the adult leader’s role is to foster youth ownership of the group as it becomes more established. Hopefully, you will have a few energetic young people with a strong commitment to the group who, with support from the adult, can serve as contact people for the group, take responsibility for the organization of group activities and events, and make sure that meetings run smoothly. The first step in developing youth leadership is identifying potential leaders. You will likely have some outstanding leaders in the group. These are the people who follow through on commitments, have their own ideas but are also willing and able to involve others in meaningful ways, and have enough time to set aside for planning. Some youth may not be comfortable volunteering although they have a lot to offer, so they may need encouragement and coaching to assume new roles. Providing opportunities to assume smaller roles in meetings is a low-risk way to let youth test ideas, learn from others and see what they are good at. A small activity will also allow you to observe the youth and see them in action. Look for different skills in your members – and value the differences. Someone who has a lot of energy and is outspoken may be good at public speaking but may need help to not dominate the group.
