Promotion of youth and the your program

A youth program should not be allowed to work in a vacuum or be pushed off to the periphery of a church, only called upon when an event needs waiters or cleanup help. Part of of being recognized as an important ministry of a church is to be visible.

• Try to establish a bulletin board in a very public place to post photos and publicity for events.
• Have this bulletin board display all newspaper articles mentioning any youth associated with the church. 
•  Depending on the size of the church you may need to limit the age range.
• Some schools will put you on their mailing list for the school newspaper or district newsletter.
