Want to Communicate Better to Students? FREE registration...


"Encouraging. Sharpening. Training."

"It's like Proverbs 27:17 lived out in the youth speaker universe!"

Just a few words to describe the experience of participating in the Youth Communicator's Cohort (YCC).

If you want to improve your communication and speaking skills with students, join us for the cohort beginning in September 2013. Registration opens in April and it's FREE!

YCC members commit to participating in a monthly conference call for encouragement, training, and feedback. Each participant will submit a video of a recent message for the rest of the cohort to view and feedback on. Also, cohort members take turns facilitating discussion each month on a communication-centered topic. Topics include:

Biblical exegesis
Blocking, movement, and gestures
Message outline and structure
Storytelling
Refining your message
Best practices of preparation
Improved illustrations
Vocal & speech techniques of the pros
Openings & Closings
And more...

Finally, YCC participants get the benefit of being a part of occasional "Master Class" calls facilitated by seasoned youth communicators, preachers, and teachers.

Registration for the Youth Communicator's Cohort opens this April. Participant skill levels range from newbie-speaker to seasoned-professionals and everyone in between. The only requirement is that you are currently communicating/preaching/speaking/teaching to students on a somewhat consistent basis.

As youth ministry veteran Josh Griffin of Saddleback Church states, "A team approach to communicating makes everyone on the team a better speaker."
