Curriculum or Program Resources
EMerge - A Cokesbury program that has had some good reviews from youth workers I know.
Veracity Videos - Another Cokesbury curriculum that is attached to the confirmation and Claim the Life education series
Trigger - A newer Youth Specialties/Zondervan resource that is edgy.
You Teach - If you’ve ever encountered the Skit Guys, this series uses their skit humor as discussion starters.
Nooma - Most popular and effective with older youth, these videos by Rob Bell are essentially sermons in video form. It can be expensive to buy the whole set, but one idea shared with me recently is to invite congregation members to give a new Nooma video to the youth program as a Christmas gift. They run about $10 for each video.
