BEING A FAITH COMPANION FOR YOUTH WHILE THEY ARE AT HOME

We are called to accompany youth in life and faith.  Young people in our parishes need faith companions in this moment more than ever. Like the disciples on the road to Emmaus, we can accompany youth amidst their confusion and discouragement. We can listen to their questions, witness to faith, and empower them as young disciples.  We will share a vision for accompanying youth at home, along with practical resources for providing each young person with companions who can provide pastoral care and witness to their faith in ways that respond to the new environment of the COVID-19 pandemic.   This webinar will utilize resources developed over the last 18 months of the Accompaniment Project which is provided by NFCYM and the Center for Ministry Development.

Presented by: Tom East, Director of the Center for Ministry Development

RE-CONNECTING AMERICA’S LONELIEST GENERATION

Today’s young people are more isolated than any previous generation despite being more connected than ever before.  Raised in an era of widespread institutional distrust, they long for meaningful relationships with caring adults as the antidote to pervasive isolation.  The old forms of connecting with young people through programs are no longer effective.  Springtide Research Institute’s national study of 13-25 year-olds confirms that new models are needed.  In this presentation, you’ll see exactly how to create a culture of belonging in your organizations and learn the role you can play in turning the tide on social isolation among young people. 

Presented by Dr. Josh Packard, Springtide Research Institute
