Basic Youth Advisor Training (BAT)
The Basic Youth Advisor Training for adults (BAT, previously AT1, 15 hours) presents core issues, philosophies and skills needed to advise and empower youth. This training is designed for new advisors looking for the basics, as well as seasoned advisors looking for support from their peers & new ideas to bring back to their group. Topics covered include youth empowerment, community building, balanced programming, liability issues, involvement in the congregation, and more.
Who should attend the Basic Youth Advisor Training?
New and seasoned advisors who want to understand the basics of youth empowerment. It is a great networking and support possibility for advisors who have been doing youth ministry. Some districts/regions may want to plan a Saturday evening meal with a local youth group.
The recommended ratio of youth to adults is 1:5.
To request a training, please contact the Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministries.
