Inactive youth

If you have youth on your rolls that are currently completely inactive:

• Even if they seem to have completely rejected the Church and are gone for good (perhaps even attending another church), don't give up or drop them from the rolls unless they specifically ask to be left alone.
• They can't get involved if they aren't reminded that the Church is there and what is going on. It is not wasted effort and money to reach out to them through mailings, emails, phone calls. Saving money by purging rolls is like a store eliminating advertizing to save money.
• A had a pair of brothers that were totally inactive from Kindergarten (a Sunday School teacher insulted one of them) until their Jr and Sr years in High School. They finally agreed to come in and meet me. They became extremely active and helped my group transition after I left.
