Everything you need to develop your work with young people

Welcome to BCYS Youthwork Resources

National Youth Sunday - Reclaim the Future

National Youth Sunday is fast approaching (23rd November 2008) and the BCYS have run training around the Diocese to encourage and enable those wanting to make the most of this opportunity to use the materials provided by Catholic Youth Services and CAFOD. We have also provided a number of supplementary resources that should be useful for this or other youth events that you can download from this page.

Just a thought

Monthly reflections on a particular theme. Perfect for getting your mind ticking over.

Fun and Games

Whether you want to break up the ice in the room or mix up friendship groups while reminding young people that fun and faith most definitely mix well there will be something here for you.

Praying with Young People

It's all very well talking about God, but there is always a point where we need to be enabling young people to talk to Him. This need not be as daunting as it may seem with a few pointers and creative ways encouraging young people to open the door of their hearts and let God in you might be surprised at the results.
