One to One is an opportunity to meet regularly with a leader to practically help you to know God and know yourself so you can help others do the same.

ENC:WEEKEND

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME

Young leaders hold the potential to change youth culture and beyond.

About the programme

The Encounter Leadership Development Programme is a space for young leaders to explore and cultivate the potential they hold to influence others for the Kingdom, together.

At it’s heart the LDP is a community who learn together and encourage one another as they step out, carry responsibility, take risks and set the tone for others to follow, wherever they find opportunities to lead.

Outline & Format

The scheme is comprised of training workshops, experiential opportunities and personal support spread over the duration of a year. Including:

2 Lead Workshops per year (Sept & Feb)
1 Residential Team Retreat (Dec)
Progress Surveys for each term
Coaching Check-ins
