The Super six

Stephen boyd, Young leader

As a young leaders me and Abbie decided that we wanted to start a personal development programme with young kids. We picked a group of 6 kids within the age group of 9-11. The group decided that they would go under the name of The Super 6. During the programme we done what the kids were interested in such as arts and crafts, sports activities and cooking. What I found good in the programme was the relationship that I built with the kids and the leadership skills that I gained. The programme showed me the realities of being a youth worker considering its what I want to be when I leave school. What I found hard during the programme was trying to discipline the kids, having patience and trying to plan the sessions every week. The group is now going on to do a cross community programme with Corpus Christi Youth Centre as part of the PACT programme (Positive Attitudes Changed Together). Me and Abbie are taking the group on a residential at the start of June where I will be facilitating as a young leader.
