LTLC. Inspiring tomorrow’s Church leaders. Today.

At the heart of the Life Teen Leadership Conference is a generation of teens rising up and taking their faith seriously. They no longer want a “feel good” faith; they crave depth and substance. These teens are changing their parishes, their schools, and their families. Because we see this movement happening, our response is the Life Teen Leadership Conference.

We’ve crafted a unique take on leadership training. Yes, we believe in empowering this new generation with practical leadership skills. But not without first teaching them how to serve both God and His people. Plus we recognize that young leaders are only as strong as the community that surrounds them. That’s why we give youth ministers and priests ample time to be with their youth group. The combination of these three elements transforms teens into the leaders that God is calling them to be.

These five days of leadership training take place at beautiful Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas. Though it’s not a full week, the results of those five days will last forever. Invest in the future of the Church, invite your top juniors and seniors to a life-changing week in the Ivy League atmosphere of Benedictine College.

• Plan your itinerary to fly into/out of the Kansas City, Missouri Airport (MCI). The college is approximately 30 minutes from the airport. Life Teen does not provide transportation from the airport to the college. Parishes are responsible for arranging their own transportation. If you are looking for a shuttle service from the airport, we recommend Super Shuttle.
• Accommodations are provided for all groups on campus at Benedictine College. Males and females are housed separately. Therefore, if you are bringing male and female teens you MUST have a male and female chaperone. Priests are housed in their own private dorms with other priests. Bedding and towels are provided for everyone.

Adult Participants

In order to provide the best possible experience for your teens, please follow these 2013 chaperone guidelines:

• This year, we are limiting your group size to 15 total (not including priests, but including chaperones). You may not register more than 15 participants for this conference.
• If you are bringing male and female teens, you must have a male and female chaperone.
• All chaperones must be 21 or over.
• All chaperones must provide a “Proof of Safe Environment Form” filled out by their pastor or diocese.

Paperwork

Again this year, all participants are asked to complete the paperwork process through this online system. Once completed, the forms can be printed and given to the youth minister for assembly.
