YTHL 695 - Leadership Practicum I: Programming

Institution:

Eastern University

Subject:

Youth Development

Description:

This course is a practicum emphasizing the implementation of the basic philosophy and methodology of youth outreach. The development of persona relationships, community relationships and youth development experiences with urban young people through relevant forms of outreach is essential. Anyone graduating from this program must demonstrate a high level of ability in the formation of youth development programs. This practicum includes the implementation of leadership skills including the principles of recruitment, training, and the ongoing empowerment of volunteers (community, adult, and youth) for outreach ministry. A combination of leadership experiences based on the student's learning goals for ministry function and written reflective evaluations are required. An integral part of this experience is the opportunity for students to: (1) observe youth ministry carried out by a competent, experienced practitioner in the field, and (2) become experienced in youth outreach under the care and counsel of a competent, experienced practitioner (mentor). Students will complete regularly scheduled supervisory dialogues with a youth outreach mentor (from a church, para-church or community organization) over a period of one semester.
