Staffing - rota or regular?

Where do we get the staff from? — I’m always short of volunteers!

Youth Leaders Dave Fenton

This is surely the cry of the hard pressed youth minister as we enter another new year of ministry. You may have all the best ideas, the best material on the market and the most fantastic premises to work in but if you don’t have the staff to run a group with a good ratio of leaders to young people you may well struggle to make an impact. If we are to engage with young people we need the people to make that connection.
