Who's it for?
Sion Youth's Foundation Year isn’t for everybody. We’ll have up to 6 places available for the year, and although we are very nice people we won’t be able to invite everyone to come and join us.
We’ll interview and chase up references for those people we think are most suitable, but to give you a heads up below are the kind of people who we’re generally after!
catholic...
Sion Community is an Association of the Lay Faithful therefore if you are hoping to apply you need to be baptised and in good standing with the Roman Catholic Church.
young and emerging leaders…
Each one of us is called to lead. The first person we are called to lead is ourselves and this will be the primary focus of our year. This doesn’t mean you have to be a leader already but that you have the potential to be one. In fact, if you’ve never led so much as a dog on a lead, that doesn’t mean you won’t be counted. However, we are looking for people who feel God is drawing them towards leadership, as those who’ve started to realise that already will probably benefit most from the course.
over 18 but under 25…
We’re not being age-ist but we are gearing the Foundation Year to those aged between 18 and 25. The idea is to support, grow and encourage young leaders, rather than established ones. Please bear in mind that this isn’t a formal course with a youth work qualification, but a chance to come to learn and grow. However if you are over 25 there are still other opportunities to join Sion Community. If you get in contact with us we will point you in the right direction!
servant hearts… honestly…
We’re not looking for people who think they’ve got all the skills necessary to be an amazing leader already and are just looking for a platform. You don’t need to think you’re a particularly good leader at the moment. We are looking for people who have a genuine and deep desire to develop their character and an openness to be used by God wherever he chooses.
