Young Staff Network (YSN) is a community of young staff from national movements all over Europe. Learning and developing together, they become better equipped to fulfil God’s purpose where he has placed them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

YSN is the second stage of IFES Europe\u2019s<\/a> leadership development pathway that has provided new leaders for national movements and the wider church. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Developing leaders with character, conviction and skills<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

We believe that what we do comes from who we are:<\/strong> our doing flows from our being. So our priority is to help young staff develop a Christ-like character, following a biblical model of leadership. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

On that foundation, young staff build skills that enable them to fulfil their roles as leaders in their national movements. Some will eventually progress to senior leadership positions.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

We also believe that growth happens best in community.<\/strong> YSN creates a safe space for young staff to build relationships that will nurture and develop them during their time in the network and beyond. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I learned to value my strengths and work from them, rather than against them. I’ve come to a better understanding of the importance of mentoring and recognise how deeply I had longed for it.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

I have come out of this program with more HOPE about ministry.<\/em> <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
