Young volunteers projects gives them a chance to make important contributions to community in teaching medical, construction etc and to experience the country and its cultures.

We believe that today we have a group of young people who can do much if they are properly directed and encouraged. We want them to act a part in well-organised plans for helping other youths. Let all be trained that they may rightly represent their communities, country and their organisation giving the reason of hope that is within them, and honouring God in any branch of work where they are qualified to labour.

We approve the movement to organise our young people for more effectual voluntary work and we recommend that more representatives be appointed in our communities, Districts and country to form youth groups.

Young men and women let us unite together upon some plans and order of action.
