Don’t forget! Next Steps deadline coming up on 31st March
The Church of Ireland Youth Department’s Next Steps Fund exists to encourage more and more young people – and current youth leaders – to undertake third level professional qualifications and development within the wider youth ministry sector.
Our aim is to support many young people and adults with a significant impact on the youth ministry and wider ministry across the Church of Ireland. The next closing date for applications is Monday, 31st March.
“CIYD’s Next Steps programme has had a number of very grateful recipients thus far and we would love to see more – this is why the fund exists,” National Youth Officer Simon Henry says.
“Vocational training and development in youth ministry is so essential and its impact on the Church can last for generations to come.
“Could this Next Steps programme benefit you or someone you know? We would love to see more and more people undertake professional qualifications and development in youth ministry and this support available could encourage those who otherwise would feel challenged in the current financial climate.”
Please forward the following link, which includes application forms, to those who you think may benefit from this funding opportunity and share widely: https://ciyd.org/2024/03/26/next-steps-2024-25
