Second-year student, Maura Stavovy, emailed me recently to remind me of a very interesting opportunity that might interest readers. It's the Y ale Youth Ministry Institute. Here are some particulars:
This week-long course is designed for pastors, seminarians, lay leaders, and youth ministers. Each
night from 6:30 to 9pm,
we will gather for evening fellowship dinners, lectures, and workshop breakouts to name
and discuss some of the adversities our youth face every day.
Throughout the week, we will learn with and from one another some concrete ways to combat these adversities to better
nurture the foundations of joyful, flourishing lives. Yale Divinity School’s standard charge for a Summer Study course is $450. The Youth Ministry Institute is providing each registrant for this program a $400 scholarship, reducing the tuition for each registrant to $50 for the entire week-long program.
Topics for the Week:
- Social Media: What You Need to Know
- Burnout in the Gap: Youth Ministry in the Midst of Adversity
- Youth on Lockdown: Ministry to Youth on the Pipeline to Prison
- Trauma-Informed Expressive Arts: Using Art to Heal the Effects of Trauma
