The Provincial Youth Committee is a collection of youth representatives and youth officers with representatives from all seven dioceses. The committee come together to discuss the status of the youth within their diocese, plan provincial youth events and to ensure the voice of the young people is heard.
To ensure our young people are heard meetings are held by two youth representatives that hold the position of chair and secretary of the PYC. All youth representatives hold a voting position to ensure that it is the young people that make decisions about what happens within the province.
The Provincial Youth Committee provides a safe space for young people to voice their opinions, be heard and have a role within the church.
Events
Whether you have one teenager in your church or a team of young people, they all need to know about provincial youth events. Keep an eye on the website for event forms, if you have any queries about any of our events do not hesitate to contact the connected youth officer.
Glen 2020 – Provincial Youth Week
We are very sorry to announce our decision to cancel Glen 20 due to COVID-19. We know how much the Provincial Youth Week means to our delegates, but this is the only sensible course of action in these uncertain and difficult times.
We have put in place a full package of support for current and would-be delegates: for further information please contact us. Glen leaders and delegates will be gathering together online for worship, which we hope will be something like the worship we experience at Glen. All young people are invited to join us on Zoom, via this link.
Topic: Provincial Youth Worship
