NIC DAY Youth Leader Fall 2024 Gatherings

Calling all NIC youth leaders! The NIC's Discipling Anti-racist Youth (DAY) leadership team is sponsoring district-wide youth leader get-togethers throughout the month of November. These get-togethers are informal gatherings around a table, enjoying a meal together and discussing ways in which we can support one another and help build connections with other youth leaders and youth ministry programs in our respective districts.

Please see the list of locations and dates below to gather with members from your respective district! And please note, that you are welcome to attend ANY of these gatherings; if it's easier for you to go to another district on that date, then please do so!
