Parish Youth Ministry Needs Assessment Tool

Before beginning any youth ministry program in your parish or group, it is important to find out what the actual needs of your youth and community are. This tool has guides you can use when consulting with your pastor, the larger parish community (including parents) and the youth themselves. It also has some suggestions for putting it all together. This tool is useful even if you have an existing youth ministry in order to be able to meet the changing needs of your community.
