ELCA Youth Leadership Summit

Introducing the Young Adult Steering Committee! Born out of a desire to include more voices in steering the Young Adult Ministry team, the steering committee will help advise our team in staying true to our vision statement of “Called to radically affirm and empower all young voices for Holy strategic disruption and divine justice”.

The committee will be comprised of 15 young adults that will serve for 1 year* and meet quarterly. We are committed to making sure that the makeup of our committee is reflective of young adult experiences. At least eight members of the team will be young adults of color, and we are looking for diverse representation in q***r identity, disability status, socioeconomic status, family makeup, life experience, age, and more.

Check out our website for the application, FAQ, and tentative schedule! Feel free to DM us or use the website’s contact info to ask more questions as you discern whether or not this is right for you. http://sites.google.com/view/yamsc/home?read_current=1

Applications close on December 31st, 2021 and those chosen will be contacted in mid-January.

We’re super excited about launching this and hope that you will pass it along to other young adults and networks that you think would be a great fit for this kind of position.

* 7 members will serve for 18 months in order to help kick-start our plan of staggered participation, with half of the committee serving from June to June and January to January. You will have the option to indicate if you would be willing to serve 18 months, but it is not a requirement.
