Clergy & Laity Discipleship Youth

Leadership is a learned skill, a gift from God that can be exercised for the transformation of the world. Sixth, seventh, and eighth graders burst with energy, and helping them discover and practice leadership techniques is an important step to growing effective leaders from within your ministry.

Leadership Lab for 6th, 7th, and 8th Grade Youth provides four complete sessions that:

  • Identify leadership skills in participants
  • Showcase the importance of teamwork and group dynamics
  • Prepare leaders for communication and conflict
  • Create reflective moments to listen for God's call to lead in a variety of ways

These four sessions are jam-packed with activities, games, and discussions for 6th–8th grade youth, and provide adult leaders with lesson outlines, handouts, and visuals to create a meaningful experience. This resource is part of a growing collection of Leadership Lab materials designed specifically to develop young people into leaders.
