‘Youth Group in a Box’ – New free resource for parish youth ministry
As the new school year gets underway and thoughts turn to resuming youth activities in parishes, Dublin and Glendalough’s Youth Ministry Officer, Emma Fawcett, has put together a new youth resource.
‘Youth Group in a Box’ is a new DGYC resource containing four ready–made youth group sessions.
In each ‘box’ Emma has included everything you need to run a 90 minute to two hour youth group. Each session includes a theme, games and activities, a Bible talk, food and a schedule for the night.
The resource can be adapted to suit the needs of individual groups and age ranges and can be used at any time of the year.
“Dublin and Glendalough Youth Council aims to support parishes in ministry to their young people,” Emma explains. “However, not every parish has a youth group and sometimes the hardest place is to know where to start, which can be off putting. This resource will give you all the tools you need to do so, as well as providing a framework to continue on with running youth groups. Each session builds on the previous and there are even suggestions for a youth group night out to help build relationships and to create memories together.”
The boxes will be ready from September and you can sign up for this free resource here: https://dgyc.org/youthgroupinabox
