America... how can we help you?
« on: October 05, 2011, 09:51:27 AM »
Though this site is UK based and has a largely UK focus, I can't help noticing that most of our registrations lately - and about a quarter of all visits to the site - are coming from the other side of the Atlantic. With that in mind, there are a few things I want to say to our US readers...

Firstly, er... hi. You're very welcome here and it's great to have you. I'd like to know if there is anything more we can do to help you. We have a US & Canada discussion board, and a jobs board for your area too. Increasingly, we are also doing more to plug US events (like these ones) and we also link to a lot of content from good US based youth ministry sites - like these two. And, I guess that most general discussions/ resources to do with youth ministry kinda work everywhere...?

But, I wonder if there is more we can do.

So... if you live on the far side of the Atlantic and have any thoughts as to what you would like to see more of on this site, please let me know...

Do you have any moderators or other support staff who are located in the US?  It might be helpful to have someone who's experienced and knows his or her way around the youth ministry circles over here.  That person can start topics and shape the conversations in a helpful way. 

As a new youth minister (who recently moved to my area of the US), I'm mostly interested in finding out about organizations & events that are in my relatively local area.  I know of the existence of some of these, but I'd really like to know more about the practical application.  What does someone who has taken teenagers to the Steubenville summer conferences have to say about the experience compared to the ND Vision program, for example?
