Youth Leaders
Who leads Southlands Youth?
Southlands Youth is a team led ministry that is overseen by the youth director Rachel Collins. They lead a team of passionate and faithful youth workers who invest in our amazing youth.
What is the role of a youth worker?
Youth workers exist to support and love our youth through the process of mentorship and acceptance. They are present at all of our calendared youth events (youth group, beach days, etc.) and often spend time with youth outside of scheduled meetings by having them in their homes, showing up at games and performances and overseeing small group hangouts.
How are youth workers trained?
Youth workers are trained through various leadership and personal development forums. Youth workers attend four trainings per year in addition to a yearly weekend retreat in Lake Arrowhead.
