To provide input around the ‘value’ for the year of leadership to help foster its understanding throughout the student body
To enable a network of support amongst the student leaders
To continue to build the community of Kildare Ministries amongst our students and their families
To build a network of leaders as a resource for the future, for instance to support the Educating for Justice student seminars, or as potential Stewardship Council or committee members

Content
This retreat will offer, through a range of sessions involving input, workshops and reflections, opportunities for incoming student leaders to prepare for their roles. Students will spend time unpacking the Kildare Ministries value for the year and how it provides a basis for their roles as mission leaders. Students will be encouraged to form connections with one another as a support network throughout their terms of leadership.
