Stakeholders
Who are the stakeholders in the process?
The February 2005 Convocation on Ministry to and With Youth brainstormed a list of people and groups who have a stake in youth ministry. We encourage you to find which group(s) you fit into, and organize within that community to engage in the Consultation process.
The Process Guide for Stakeholder Conversations on Ministry To and With Youth proposes a self-facilitated process through which you can contribute your wisdom and input into the Consultation on Ministry To and With Youth.
The primary objective of stakeholder conversations is to engage youth ministry stakeholders in visioning and goal-setting to strengthen their youth ministry and support of youth ministry. The input of stakeholders will help shape the outcomes and recommendations of the consultation.
