FREE* coaching cohort and mission trip!
We are very pleased to announce that The Youth Cartel, along with our friends at Praying Pelican Missions, have received a TENx10 Faith & Service grant that will allow us to host the Proximity Project.
This very unique opportunity leverages The Youth Cartel’s best-in-class Youth Ministry Coaching Program and PPM’s church-focused approach to short term missions, all with an overt agenda of black youth workers and white youth workers learning and serving alongside one another.
We’ll start two cohorts – one in Tulsa OK, and one in New Orleans, with these six meetings:
Meeting 1: 1.5 days, in-person. April 13/14, NOLA; April 16/17, Tulsa
Meeting 2: 6 hours, online. May 18, NOLA; May 19, Tulsa
Meeting 3: 1.5 days, in-person. June 8/9, NOLA; June 11/12, Tulsa (NOTE: this third meeting will include leadership from Arrabon on racial listening and understanding)
July: 5-day mission trips (dates still being finalized). You would agree to bringing 10 students from your church.
Meeting 4 and 5: 6 hours, online, in September and October
Meeting 6 (final retreat): 2 days, in November
The coaching program will include our normal whole life leadership development, and will have outcomes such as:
Learning to lead change
Developing and leading from values
Understanding and implementing TENx10’s Faith Formation Framework
Understanding and leaning into spiritual discernment
All participants will also receive 6 1on1 coaching sessions with a certified ministry coach.
The asterisk in the subject line, next to word FREE, is because: we’re asking each participant (or their church) to pay $300. At the end of the year, we’ll refund a pro-rated portion of that (up to all of it) based on your attendance at meetings. NOTE: Travel, accommodations and meals are not included for cohort meetings (accommodations and all meals are included for the mission trips). The cohort and mission trip would normally cost more than $7000.
To be considered for this amazing opportunity, please fill out the application here: https://www.theyouthcartel.com/apply. We hope to have responses to all those who are approved for participation by March 15.
