Who We Are - Youth Ministry Training & Strengths Assessment
Canterbury Youth Services is a Christian based, Strengths focused organisation that has been set up to train and resource leaders in youth work and youth ministry in and around the Canterbury region.
The way we do this is through training leaders involved in five categories of youth work…
- Paid youth leaders and youth pastors
- Unpaid youth leaders and youth workers
- Volunteers that help those leading the above 2 groups
- Emerging leaders
- Paid youth workers in schools or organisations
Throughout the year we run two major events, Easter Camp and Amped, which are designed to grow local youth communities through a lot of fun, relational time together. Throughout the year we hold two focused leadership development events and have assembled a network of youth workers around Canterbury.
Some of the services we offer include running training events for other organisations, running performance reviews, consulting on Human Resource decisions and leadership training.
CYS has been a key proponent bringing the Gallup Strengthsfinder to New Zealand shores and the Strengths assessment and coaching has become a key tool in developing youth ministries, leaders, staff teams and how they work all together.
We also have a growing amount of resources for purchase and hire so if you are after some new ideas then check out our online shop and hire equipment.
