[The Youth Leader Collective] has provided a much needed safe space for those of us pressing on to take the gospel to teenagers in our city. Ministry can feel like an island at times and being able to show up for a few hours once a month with like-minded people to talk about God, our lives and our work can be the difference between burning out and finding the strength to endure.

The [Youth Leader Collective] has enabled me to make relationships within my area with other local Student Pastors. These relationships are crucial to me as I am able to lean on and learn from these other Student Pastors that are going through the same journey I am. Sure, every church is different with its own specific problems, but we are ONE body. [YLCo.] and the North Georgia Area [Collective] that I am part of, makes it feel like we are ONE body more than any other area I have served in.

I was thrilled with the Enneagram workshop for teachers and staff at our school. It was informative, humorous, thought-provoking, and led to the start of multiple great discussions that continued throughout the rest of the school year! I would highly recommend this training for anyone interested in learning more about themselves and how we relate to those around us, whether it be family, friends or co-workers.
