Completing the Young Leader belt award
Once you have completed the training modules the rest is over to you. Show us you have learnet the essential skills to become a Young Leaader by completing the 4 missions with your own groups. These cover running games and activities, attending programme planning and running a complete evening or event.
Once you have completed your missions you will need to show evidence it has been completed to you YL leaders at any of our training weekends or via email. Here are some hint's and tips on how to get your modules signed off.
-
Write a description of the game/activity - we don't all know games by the same name!
-
Write a review of the game/activity - what went well? what would you change next time? did the young people enjoy it?
-
Take photos or videos! - this is the best way for us to see you in action, even if you don't want to be in the photo show us the result did you make, a super craft or cook a fancy dish?
-
Ask one of your group leaders to write a review - feedback if a great way to learn, make sure you get the leaders to join in too.
-
Documentation - it might seem daunting but write it down, send us you term or evening programme in a spreadsheet, did you think about badges and risk assessments?
-
Have fun! - we can tell when you enjoy your role as a Young Leader and hope to hear all about the stories activities, games and events that you will be running soon.
