Mixed Youth Self-Worth Course (Inspire)

Description

Aim

Inspire aims to build self-worth in teenagers and young adults so that they develop a high level of self-esteem and self-respect, which in turn will improve their mental well-being. Based on the universal concepts of Psalm 139, Inspire helps people understand their true worth and identity, giving them the confidence and assurance that their life has meaning and that they have a purpose in this world.

Who

Inspire Youth is for young people of mixed genders, regardless of whether they have a Christian faith. It can be used to encourage and equip those already in the church or as an evangelistic tool to reach out to those who are not. Inspire Youth is also suitable for use with boys and young men if organisations wish to split their youth.

Age range

The mixed youth course is primarily targeted towards young people between the ages of 14-18. However, by adapting or changing certain activities, it can used with a wider age range.

Time

Ideally, the course requires six half-day sessions to teach, spread out over six successive weeks. Alternatively, it can be split into twelve one-hour sessions to make it more suitable for groups that meet for a shorter time. The course can also be run for five or six consecutive days if used in a Christian camp setting or for overseas mission trips.

Number

Inspire can be used with large groups of up to around 30 people. However, it is also suitable for mentoring smaller groups of young people who are particularly struggling with issues related to low self-worth.
