Shadow a Disciples leader
Hey youth! Ever wonder what a regional minister or general ministry leader does at General Assembly? Do you want a "behind the scenes" look at how Disciples work? What is it like to work for a general ministry, anyway? Disciples youth can answer these questions and more through the "Shadow a Disciples Leader" program coordinated by Higher Education & Leadership Ministries. Filling out a simple application is the first step to finding answers. Choose which ministries are most interesting to you — sure, you'll be learning, but this should be fun, too!
