Pip Wilson is an independent Facilitator, Trainer and Group Worker following 25 years of service for the YMCA in England. He is the author of four books and designer of many developmental exercises and games used world wide. Here he gives his views on the importance of strategically preparing young people for leadership.
Above the Reception of the YMCA I led for eighteen years is a large sign in bold letters: "Young people are not only our present - they are our future."
When I was fifteen, I was as bad as a member of a youth group. I was just about to be rejected as a member - but - the leaders gave me another option. They asked me if I would take responsibility for a group of young teenagers. Accepting that was the beginning of a lifetime of leadership.
