GROWING YOUNG LEADERS PB

A practical guide to mentoring teens

Are there young people in your church or community who you think have the makings of a leader? Growing Young Leaders is a book designed to help you mentor teenagers on the path to leadership, and is ideal for adults volunteering as mentors for Growing Leaders - Youth Edition.

Growing Young Leaders offers practical guidance for those who feel called to mentoring 13- to 18-year olds in a faith context, with a view to nurturing them towards leadership roles. Linked to CPAS's course Growing Leaders - Youth Edition, it also works as a stand-alone resource. It defines mentoring, analyses the necessary skills and attributes of a mentor today, encourages good practice, considers the safeguards needed to meet child protection guidelines and above all considers how to help young people identify their gifts and grow as Christian disciples.

This is the sister book to Ready to Lead.

'I hope and pray that this book will help release the potential of our young people so that they become even greater disciples of Jesus Christ.'

'An inspiring and readable book in which Ruth grounds the theory of growing young leaders through mentoring with stories of her own practice.'
