 These are the dates known to us of forthcoming training opportunities offered by local authorities, Councils for Voluntary Youth Services and similar bodies within our diocese. Training events are usually half-day or one day long and are aimed at adult leaders that work with children and young people. And many of them are free!
We've filtered it down to the ones we think might be of interest to Catholic parish youth leaders and helpers. Please note, these training opportunities are not provided by NYMO or the Church.
