Over the last few years I have been studying, researching, and processing data to identify key practices to set volunteers up for long term commitment in youth ministry.
You can find my full doctoral dissertation on the topic here. Or, you can find a shorter academic paper I wrote for the AYME (Association of Youth Ministry Educators) conference here.
The above video is a TED Talk style presentation I did at the DYM100: Roundtables conference called “Staying Power: Building a Volunteer Team that Lasts.” Click here to get a copy of my notes.
