Equipping and supporting the leaders of tomorrow, today!
Every year, as part of our holidays and events programme, we create opportunities for young people between the ages of 16 and 21 to develop their leadership skills and volunteer alongside our Event Leaders.
The Young Leaders Development Programme is designed to invest in the lives of young people who choose to develop their leadership skills. Through a series of training sessions and discussion groups, as well as a programme of support during the events, we are committed to equipping and supporting these young leaders as they step into exciting adventures.
Making memories, changing lives
The majority of our young leaders have attended SU holidays and events themselves, and serving as a young leader is a great opportunity for them to continue to be involved in something that has played a significant part in their own faith journey! But, what's great is that you don't have to have been on an SU holiday to jump in as a young leader!
While many find it exciting to be 'behind the scenes', it can be challenging to learn new boundaries, take on responsibilities and share their faith with others.
That's why we've created this brand-new programme – to make sure that these passionate individuals are equipped and supported to step into Christian leadership with confidence.

Better equipped to serve God and people
Rachel joined SU staff in 2023 as Young Leaders Enabler, with the specific aim of supporting and developing the future leaders of tomorrow.
"I'm so excited about the Young Leaders Development Programme. Investing into these young people will give them increased confidence in sharing the love of Jesus on the camps and missions, as well as growing them as disciples who we hope and pray will continue to reach out to other children and young people in their everyday lives. Camps and missions are significant training grounds where we see the Holy Spirit shape and change us, and by developing what we offer our young leaders, we hope that they will leave better equipped to serve God."
