The Diocesan Youth Committee was set up in November 2020. The Youth Committee’s remit is to resource young people’s work in the diocese and to support the Diocesan Youth Officer. A number of charges have Young Church and Youth Fellowships.
The remit of the Committee is as follows.
First to act as a support to the Diocesan Children and Youth Officer.
Second to promote the collegiality of youth work within the Diocese, to engage with the young people by, for example hosting youth events at the Cathedral, visiting local diocesan Youth Fellowships and Young Church. To raise the profile of the committee and to build a knowledge base so that the Diocese comes to regard the committee as a resource and source of support for individual congregation’s activities.
Third to engage with the local community through contacts with education and established organisations to ask what the SEC can do to help support them in a non-denominational way.
The Youth Committee can be contacted by emailing youthcommittee@standrews.anglican.org
