Where are you headed? What do you need to get there? As youth leaders, we pour into others, but what are ways you allow God to pour into you?

A few weeks ago, we suggested creating a learning track for your student leaders to help identify specific elements in building that person and who could provide those learning opportunities. It’s no different for you as a leader.

Below is a suggested template for tracking those developmental elements in a youth leader’s life. You may have other elements to add as well (if so, please suggest those in the comment section). The key to this tool is for you and your support circle to discuss what areas to develop and where that development can happen best. 


OVERVIEW OF LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT FOR: ___________________________________ 

This tool tracks the topics to formulate leadership development and specifies who provides those services. 

Note: It is highly recommended the student has a mentor who can process the different learnings from each topic into an integrated, holistic understanding.
