Implementing Intergenerational Youth Ministry

An Online Class

 

Instructors

Erin Davenport, Director of the Miller Summer Youth Institute, and Derek Davenport, Director of the Miller Summer Youth Institute

Dates

Jan. 22-Feb. 16, 2018

Overview

“Intergenerational” has become something of a buzz word for youth ministry in recent years. Despite the appeal of intergenerational models, creating or enhancing that aspect of youth ministry can be challenging.

Participants in this class will walk away with a plan to implement or increase intergenerational offerings in their current contexts. Through interaction with fellow students, engagement with readings, and completion of assignments, participants will gain not only an overview of the theory behind intergenerational youth ministry, but a concrete plan for applying the insights of the course.

This online class will be self-paced and available for participants to engage with the instruction at their own convenience, i.e., offered asynchronously, no set times that you need to sit in front of your computer. If you would like more information, e-mail .
