won’t lift a finger to help others. However, that has not been my experi-
ence of teens! They are looking for something meaningful and are com-
munity minded if they can see that their contribution is valued.
For some parents, Holiday times can be both stressful and expensive when
it comes to ‘catering’ for their teenagers. North Ryde Anglican church
would love to help by providing the best quality program that we can
which gives teenagers the opportunities to develop new skills, reach their
potentials, serve their community and learn more about Jesus.
The program is not-for-profit, and is only made possible through the gener-
ous donations and discounts from local businesses and many people vol-
unteering their time. Since first running in 2007 over 80 teenagers have par-
ticipated—with all participants giving glowing endorsement. Whilst there is
a program cost of $110—this barely covers the costs of the Hoodie, Cap,
14 meals, 14 morning and afternoon teas, leaders party laser tag and
bowling, and other program costs.
You may be wondering if a church run program is for you? According to
the Australian Bureau of statistics (ABS), four out of five teens reading this
brochure believe in God, with one in three believing in the miracles of Je-
sus Christ. We welcome anyone from any faith background participating
in the leadership program with us. Our aim is to help you make the next
step in honouring Jesus. We ask all teens to agree to our statement of
partnership which you can read in the application form on our website.
This flyer also outlines how we are helping young people respond appro-
priately to Jesus in our regular weekly gatherings. We have included de-
tails about our other youth initiatives opposite.
Can I encourage you to make the most of NRG. But why wait till July? If
you have just moved into the suburb or don’t have any connection with a
youth group, why not join with us this week at 57 or Revolution. You can
find out so much more on our website.
Many schools offer this program. Details at
www.dukeofed.com.au
The handbook states that ‘regular commitment’ usually
means one hour per week over a three or six month peri-
od. However there maybe some flexibility with your school
if the hours can be done more intensively. You will need to
check with your school coordinator if participation in NRG
satisfies requirements. A number of schools have been
satisfied that NRG meets Bronze & Silver award require-
ments.
Total NRG leaders commitments are 2 pre-NRG training
days, 6 days of NRG (Mon-Fri 8-4pm + Sunday 11-6pm) .
Hence, there are approximately 56 hours of volunteering
time involved, as opposed to the 12hrs (Bronze) or 24hrs
(Silver) required by the DofE program.
However, many Co-ordinators will not accept only NRG
