Maximizing the Summer with your Volunteer Leaders

Podcast Icon

The summer can be a very productive time for you and your volunteer leaders.  That is why Tom asked Chris Wesley back on the podcast.  Chris is the Director of Youth Ministry at Church of the Nativity in Timonium, MD.

So, Tom asked Chris to join him to talk about how to maximize the summer months to recruit, train and develop your volunteer leaders. In today’s podcast Tom and Chris talk about…

  1. What Chris has been working on lately.
  2. How he has been using the past few months and what he will be doing with volunteer leaders in the months ahead
  3. Chris’ book, “Rebuilding Youth Ministry” (http://www.christopherwesley.org/books/rebuilding-youth-ministry)

You can connect with Chris a few different ways.  He’s on Twitter (twitter.com/chrisrwesley), has an awesome blog (http://www.christopherwesley.org) with tons of great insights each week and he also blogs at both YM360.com or DownloadYM.com

So what do you think? How are you planning on utilizing the summer to invest in your volunteer leaders?  Join the conversation by sharing your thoughts and insights below or on social media using the hashtag #ymsidekick.
