Oversee or create curriculum and materials targeted for those who are youth aged.
Organize and lead occasional activities/events that offer opportunities for the youth to be formed into more faithful disciples of Christ. Examples might include local and distant mission trips, retreats, camping, fundraising, events pertaining to justice issues, Christian music concerts, etc.
