Hi everyone!
Ive been looking on the site for jobs, resources and events for ages, but only just joined!

I'm Katharine and I'm 23. I am currently studying for a Graduate Diploma in Youth Work and Ministry at Oasis College. Took me ages to give it a go!
Before that, I did a BA (Hons) in Education Studies. I have lots of experience working with children and really wanted to start working with young people. I have been running the Children's Liturgy programme in my Church for 3 years and have various other roles including organising youth events with our young people in my small parish. Going to Flame with young people from the Deanery and can't wait!

As part of my course, I am also working in community youth centres. The best part so far though is definitely being able to work for 2 weekends at Walsingham House! It's amazing and I can't wait to head back and help out again in April.
When I graduate my ideal role would either be in youth ministry (churches or retreats) or chaplaincy.
Looking forward to hearing about and learning from the experience of others! 
Katharine

Hello Guys!

I joined this site for exchange of ideas and resources as well, I have been speaking with different young people in different settings that's why i need to explore for more ideas to share to the young...

 

Hi I'm Louise and a lay Chaplain in Canterbury.Been there 8 years and loving it. Just about to arrange our Feast day Mass in Canterbury Cathedral with Bishop John Hine.   

Hello, my name is Hannah. I'm a Chaplain in Rossendale (outside Greater Manchester) and have only been in the job since September. The post its self was only created then too so we are at the very start of an exciting future.

I started part time in the high school but have now been asked to work in all 7 of our partner primary schools too, making my job into a very very FULL time post !! I have done my year at Castlerigg Manor and for the record, the Keswick nightlife was awesome ... loft withdrawls as we speak!! done lots of other bits of youthwork secular and Catholic.

 

Hi Hannah and welcome.  I went to the Loft once with Jack and some younger folk - we didn't stay long!
