About Leaders in Training

Youthworks’ Leaders in Training (LiT) is an awesome camp for youth in Years 9 - 12 in 2023 at Youthworks Conference Centres Port Hacking. You will meet fantastic friends and have a brilliant time but it’s also pretty challenging. We are going to push you hard to think about your faith and how you can use your gifts for the glory of God. The whole week is about growing you as a Christian, as a leader and as a servant of Jesus and His people.

Ministry Partners

LiT would like to thank our Ministry Partners for investing in the next generation of Christian leaders.

Take Love is a youth initiative of Anglicare.  We’re all about taking the love of Jesus to our community and inspiring others to do the same. We're here to equip you, your school and your youth group with practical ways to get involved in Anglicare’s life-changing work.

What has God put on your heart? Improving people’s mental health? Alleviating poverty? Preventing domestic abuse? Caring for older people? Connecting with the lonely and isolated? Whatever it is, we can help you make a difference.

Year 13 is a Christian gap year for school leavers, preparing you to change the world for Christ, whatever walk of life you choose. Spend a year with like-minded young people from all over Australia.

During your Year 13 discipleship Gap Year, you will grow in your knowledge and understanding of God, serve on an overseas mission, learn what discipleship can look like in your life now and in the future..... And have a whole lot of fun!

For leaders & churches

Partnering with Youthworks

LiT seeks to serve the local church by providing a place for young leaders to be encouraged and equipped for ministry. Youthworks would love your church to partner with us by sending leaders and youth to LiT.

Sending leaders and youth together provides the necessary leadership to run a successful camp and a natural capacity to follow up and support the young leaders after camp. You can further compliment LiT by integrating the training from camp into your broader training strategy.

We understand that it’s not always possible to send a leader from your church. In that case, we would like to invite you to send your youth and let the larger Christian family support you as we collectively seek to equip and encourage our young leaders in training.

Please read our Church Partnership document to get a more complete picture of what we do at LiT and how it can bless your church.

If you are interested in talking further about how LiT might serve your church, please contact Paul Rees in our office on 8268 3355 or ministrysupport@youthworks.net.

Leading on LIT

The opportunity to be part of God’s enabling and equipping of our young leaders at such an influential time cannot be over estimated. As a leader on LiT you will have four primary responsibilities:

  • Teaching the youth faithfully from the word of God through a Connect Group each day. You will be supported by resources and paired up with a co-leader.

  • Share your life and pastorally care for the campers in your Connect Group and spend time with them during the program and free time.

  • Help the campers from your church identify opportunities to use their gifts and the skills at church and school.

  • Be an example of godliness.

Most leaders are directly invited through our partnering churches who are bringing youth to camp, but if you are from another church and would like to serve then please read through our 2023 Leader Invitations for the event you are thinking of leading on and contact our office before filling in the leader application form.

If you are interested in coming to LiT as a leader, please contact Paul Rees in our office on 8268 3355 or ministrysupport@youthworks.net.
