We ask that you select 2-4 of your strongest student leaders that are:
- Ages 15-19
- Committed followers of Christ
- Students who demonstrate passion, creativity, and proven leadership ability
- Students interested in Christian Community Development and issues of social justice
Please Note: This is a conference specifically for youth who are already, or will be assuming, a leadership role in your ministry.
“The Why”
The goal of the NSLI is to empower the voice of student leadership by creating and positioning a new generation of leaders who can meaningfully engage in community transformation.
Student leaders will:
- learn more about Christian Community Development through trainings, community activities, and interacting with the Elders and Emerging Leaders of CCDA;
- connect and build relationships with other local and national student leaders who have similar passions;
- and walk away challenged, inspired and further equipped to be fully engaged in the process of transforming their communities.
