The Need for Training Resources for Volunteer Youth Leaders on Teaching Preparation and Delivery

Abstract

In recent decades, pragmatic youth ministry has produced resources on engaging programs, relational equity, practical organization, or family ministry. While all of these are helpful and necessary, they have left a gap in teaching formation resources for volunteer youth leaders. This article surveys the trends in recent literature, reviews current resources, and seeks to show the importance of teaching resources for youth volunteers that address both preparation for teaching and flexibility and adaptability when teaching.
