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. The scheme is comprised of training sessions, experiential opportunities and leadership mentoring over the course of the year.

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. You’ll get to play your part in building a community of young people who are being changed by grace for the sake of the world. 

Outline & Format

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

• Participation in whole team planning meetings in September and January and regular team meetings on Friday evenings
• LDP training sessions three times per year (one per term) which include guided reading or materials to watch/listen to in advance
• Working with a mentor throughout the year to achieve the goals agreed in a personal development plan that we will help you create
• Putting learning into practice at Encounter on Friday evenings
