 | • Overview – The Jr. High Youth Group serves young people in 6th, 7th and 8th grades by providing social & service opportunities as well as other interactions designed to develop Christian values and community as well as a sense of civic responsibility. The goal is to ultimately build on and supplement the overall faith experience of Generations of Faith, Confirmation activities and other church interactions. |
| • Scope and Participation – The youth group currently meets monthly (usually the last Friday of the month) from 7-9pm. In addition to monthly meetings, students are engaged in a number of periodic social and service-related activities throughout the year. In 2010 the group also held its second annual retreat (and first overnight retreat), which will continue to be held annually in August. 2010 saw a great deal of expansion as a result of increased parent participation and commitment to the program as well as the addition of a number of volunteers. There are currently 40-50 active members of the youth group and the program continues to evolve and improve. |
| • Recent & Upcoming Events – in addition to monthly meetings and the retreat, some of the events from 2009-10 included: |
o Halloween scavenger hunt to support local men’s shelter
o Shoe drive for victims of the Haiti disaster
o Holiday season mass for Christian Village followed by Christmas party
o Ice-skating
o Service project with Food Bank of Northwest Indiana
o Year-end social for students and families at Inman’s Fun & Family Center
• Our Needs – Our current volunteer needs include:
o Helping to develop curriculum for meetings and facilitate social/service events
o Assistance with communications (e-mail, mailings, bulletin, newsletters, etc.)
o Planning and logistics for annual retreat
o …and MUCH MORE!
We encourage anyone interested in working with this amazing group of young
people to share their gifts and talents. We will find a way to use you!
