LEADERSHIP
Growing Leaders to Influence
"The thing I most enjoyed was helping others and to help understand what I have to offer and to find purpose in what I think is missing in my life." - Darren
Developing leaders to influence others is an important and valuable investment for the future of Youth Encounter and beyond. We empower people through engaging leadership training and integrating opportunities to develop these skills within Youth Encounter programmes and activities. This includes employed staff, volunteers, interns and student placements as they all have a place of leadership within Youth Encounter as we impact our young people.

Leadership development focuses on;
Growing our leaders' self-awareness to know their own potential to create a powerful atmosphere of influence to those around them
Developing and refining our leaders' potential through accountability and a supportive environment
Equipping our leaders with understanding, skills, practical resources and the tools to become more effective in their leadership
"From the first camp I went to I always wanted to go back for more because it's such a great environment to be around. Youth Encounter really inspired me to become my best self meaning that I've become a young leader to inspire other young people to do the same."

LLWO Young Leaders
LLWO Young Leaders is a leadership and discipleship journey for young people aged 17+ who want to grow in confidence, character, faith, and leadership through real-life experiences, adventure, community, and service.
At Youth Encounter, we believe leadership is not just about leading others — it starts with learning who you are and becoming the person you were created to be.
Through volunteering in camps and community events, young leaders are challenged to grow in identity, purpose, hope, and resilience while helping create spaces of belonging for others.
“Youth Encounter empowers me to step out in courage and faith to unleash my full potential.” - Young Leader
