"From ordinary to extraordinary!" That’s the mission our chapter members were involved in as they participated in the Coventry, Rhode Island tournament. Their hard work was evident as they practiced public speaking, consensus-building, and problem-solving skills. What fun to work together toward a common mission with friends - both old and new!
It was exciting to see…
Student Evaluators mentoring the YSG 1 student
Coaches and Community Evaluators helping to grow our leaders by providing feedback
The Tournament Teams experiencing transformation as they learned new skills and sought to innovate.
All this happened within a safe community striving to empower next generation Christians to influence today’s culture.
