Youth Pursuits' StepUp! Youth Leadership Program is designed for students entering grades 6-11 to provide opportunity for students to live out their faith through teaching, mentoring, and leadership. Students will be empowered and equipped to assist Salem staff and interns with Youth Pursuits Camps throughout the summer.

The StepUp! program begins with a mandatory training for students to receive instruction in large and small group teaching, leadership, and team building. Students will be equipped to assist with GLOCAL, VBS, You Adventure! (elementary camp), and You Pet! camps (please note: limited StepUp roles available for You Pet Camp).

Interested StepUp students should view and complete a StepUp! application form and submit it upon registering (see KidCheck attachment for application) - or by April 30. Registration is incomplete without the StepUp application. The cost for the StepUp! program is $75 and includes leader training, a maximum of 4 camps (including fieldtrip fees) and a reward day.

Students must attend a mandatory leader training on either May 1 or May 8 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at Salem.
