Who can be a part of the CADRE?

Any youth pastor or leader is invited to apply to be a part of the CADRE - regardless of the size of his/her youth group or the years of experience.  From these applications approximately 40 people are chosen for a one year period to be a part of this group.

It is Jeanne’s heart to pour into a handful of people who are very serious about impacting today’s youth culture.  Thus, she wisely knows that an application process like this is most essential.  Some of the youth leaders who will be chosen will be from smaller churches.  Others will be from among our nation’s largest youth ministries.  The size of the youth ministry is not the main consideration.  The size of the HEART and the desire to grow are what is looked for during the application process.

Though Jeanne will receive absolutely nothing personally for her leadership involvement in the CADRE, all participants will agree to contribute $100 a month (for the 12 months of the CADRE) to Youth Leader's Coach.  This will allow the ministry, which impacts thousands of youth pastors, to continue.  Here are a few ideas on where this money may come from:

- Contributions from the church as a “Youth Coaching/Conference Allowance”

- Personal donations

- As part of the youth ministry budget

- Or partial contributions from several of the above

I’m interested…how do I get started?

Please submit your application for next year’s CADRE to Youth Leader’s Coach.  Applications will be reviewed by Jeanne’s team and you will be notified soon thereafter.  The CADRE runs from September to September each year.  For more details, you can download the Cadre info packet.
