GROW: Youth Discipleship Ambassadors

“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.”

1 Timothy 4:12

Online Youth Work

Most youth organisations have avoided the use of video conferencing – which means the guidance is lagging behind. We need to engage effectively with our young people, but that we do so in a way that protects them and us. 

Below you will find a parent permission form and guidelines for online engagement. If you require word versions please email childrenandyouth@yorkdiocese.org
