"
Student leadership gave me my foundation as a high school
student as well as the building blocks in developing relationships and doing kingdom work. I learned how to press into relationship with God and lead by His example in Jesus. I was taught how to read and understand different types of people and facilitate healthy interaction while showing them how valued they are to both myself and the group. In my adult life I constantly use the tools I was given in most group settings in which I find myself."

"As a high school
student, I was constantly surprised at how much ownership I was given for leading in the youth ministry. When I graduated, I naturally assumed it was my role to continue being a
leader. I'm now the high school director of the same youth group."
Monique, missionary in Amsterdam
Being a
student leader empowered me to minister and love my peers in a way that I hadn't otherwise felt free to do.
Student leadership was used to help cultivate my gifts, passions and dreams. In addition, it helped me discover my place in building the kingdom. As a
student leader I was cared for, invested in and equipped which enabled me to do the same. My time as a
student leader greatly shaped who I am and what I am doing today... for that I am forever grateful!
