what is mentoring?

The mentoring program is a MUST for new youth ministers (as well as those transitioning into a new position or returning to ministry after a hiatus)!
​
You will...

• Journey with a seasoned minister
• Develop essential relationships with other professionals
• Receive valuable ministry support
• Enjoy monthly face-to-face discussions on:
  • Recruiting and retaining youth and volunteers
  • Budgeting
  • Calendar/scheduling
  • Working with staff members and parishioners
  • Being part of the parish staff team
  • Advocating for yourself and your young people
  • Self care, sabbath, and prayer
  • Discernment about your professional future
• Help ensure your success in ministering to the young Church of Baltimore

Best of all, mentoring is offered at NO COST to APYM members! What are you waiting for?!
