Methodists to make major investment in youth engagement

The Methodist Conference has agreed to invest more than £4 million in a major initiative to develop and enhance the participation of young people in the life of the Church.

The Church’s Youth Participation Strategy is a five-year initiative involving a specialist team of youth workers and young people employed to address how the Church engages with youth culture on local and national levels.

Each Methodist district will receive a grant for the part-time employment of a young person aged 16 to 23. For most of their time these Youth Enablers will work within their district, but a proportion of their time will be used for national initiatives.
