Young people bring energy, questions, and a desire to contribute to the world around them. Service provides a setting to develop those capacities in company with others.
Begin close to home
A first step may be to join an institute course, learn alongside those supporting children’s classes or junior youth groups, or take part in a local community activity. The right starting point depends on your interests, experience, and the opportunities nearby.
Explore the educational pathways and ask how to connect locally.
Considering a period of service?
If you are considering a sustained period or year of service, begin a conversation with the regional Institute. Share your interests, where you live, and the time you are considering. Ask about preparation, accompaniment, and opportunities before making a commitment.
Contact the regional Institute.
Learning alongside others
Service is accompanied by study, consultation, and reflection. There is room to ask questions, learn from experience, and develop capacity over time. If you hope to work with children or junior youth, ask about the preparation and clearance process before you begin.
