The youth communities that sustain 24-7 YouthWork are based from local churches.  The church group or denomination isn’t important. More significant is the ability to agree on the basics and get on with the job of “loving thy neighbour”. 

Specifically each youth community needs to:
·          be outward focussed, inclusive and servant minded
·          serve all young people in the area unconditionally
·          grow and resource a strong volunteer leadership team
·          provide young people with local role models
·          accept 24-7 YouthWork practice and have the capacity to deliver high quality service
·          remain committed to a school and community over the long haul

Realistically this means that 24-7 YouthWork isn’t for every church. But those churches that can rise to the challenge will make an enormous contribution to their local community.
