AMBASSADORS
YA ambassadors are some of the finest Christian teens in the Northeast that meet one weekend out of the year to experience training in" leadership with a different perspective."
 
Watch the depth of these Ambassadors' love for God the Father and Christ the Son as they make "I Believe" statements as part of a group activity during one of the seminar.

ALUMNI NOTE!
Many ambassadors ask the question, "How many years can I come to Youth Advance?" Since, the Youth Advance Seminar has a three year curriculum, ambassadors may return for all three years (providing they are high school age and can get all the necessary recommendations.) Many ambassadors come back year in and year out because they love the experience!

55 ATTEND NOVEMBER SEMINAR!

Nearly 20 congregations from as far west as West Virginia, as far north as New Hampshire, as far east as Long Island and as far south as Maryland sent teens to the November edition of the 2011 Youth Advance Seminar! The YA Board was eleated because it was in this year that they would move the seminar from the spring to the fall (thus having 2 seminars in the same year) requiring congregations to double thier budgets for leadership training for their youth. "We did not know what to expect." said Matt Wilson, the president of the organization. "But we were excited about the turnout!" Everyone was in agreement that these 55 ambassadors were exceptional. From Bill McGee, the facilitator who said, "They gave 100% in every session." to the hotel staff who after interacting with them all weekend wanted to know more about this organization. Kudos to all the participants! Mark you calendar for next year's seminar on November 9-11, 2012!

LEADERSHIP WITH A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE
Youth Advance began with a goal of identifying the most outstanding teenage leaders in Northeast and Mid-Atlantic Churches of Christ, bringing them together, and training them to become more involved in the lives of others. Over the past 25 years, more than one thousand students have benefited from the instruction, fellowship, and motivation they have received at Youth Advance. Upon returning to their home congregations, Youth Advance participants, called “Ambassadors,” share these blessings with their youth group and their entire congregation. If you have young people who have attended Youth Advance before, you know what a life-changing event it is.
HOW TO BEGIN THE REGISTRATION PROCESS
Ambassadors must be nominated by their home congregation. We ask for nominations of only the top young men and women from your congregation, and only those in grades 10 through 12. Youth Leaders and/or parents can do this by filling out the Ambassador Registration form that can be downloaded directly from this site. This form gives us the necessary information to begin registering the student. The Ambassador Application must be completed by the student and signed by a parent or guardian. Please download and read the forms carefully. Make as many copies of the Ambassador Application and Letter of Reference forms as you need.
