As adults who are gifted in Youth Ministry, you are invited to participate in AFFIRM 2010, an over 40 year old summer youth event of the ELCA Southeastern Synod, to be held in June, at the Berry College in Rome, Ga.  

Affirm nurtures faith, equips youth leaders for today and tomorrow, and trains youth in discipleship skills. Affirm is for grades 6th – 12th as well as trains college freshman and sophomores for youth ministry in a unit called YAYMI, Young Adult
Youth Ministry Institute. YAYMI gives young adults training in peer ministry, small groups, hands on leadership and much more! Affirm is based on 10 different “units”. Each of these units are staffed by small group leaders and a pair of unit
directors. Most of our 85 staff members are small group leaders.  

If you are a pastor or congregational leader who is in the position to discern adults who might serve, please feel free to make copies of this application and distribute it or post it in a prominent place in your church. If you have gifts for youth ministry yourself, please prayerfully consider completing the application and returning it by January 15, 2009.  

You will also note the need for each applicant to include a social security number and permission to secure a criminal background check. This is required by the Synod’s Insurance Company that all adults working with youth must have a
background check.  

Finally, if you are sharing this with a first-time applicant, please mention the need to include a letter of reference from someone outside the applicant’s immediate family.  This letter should speak to the applicant’s gifts for youth ministry.

Notification of selection for all staff will happen by March 1, 2010.

If you have any questions please contact me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or 404-589-1977 x 230 or 770-235-7339.
