Training videos for leaders and volunteers
We have recorded five team training videos (10 – 15 mins) with a leader’s guide and participant’s handout specifically designed to be used to upskill and promote discussion amongst a group of volunteers. Please feel free to use them with your teams.
Over the years, the Parenting for Faith team has also led and hosted a vast number of free online events for children’s, youth and family leaders. Below, you can find recordings of some of the most popular ones. You can view all the previous Lunch with Leaders Facebook Live events on our Facebook page. Feel free to share with your team and/or use in your own live team training events.
