___ Support of church leaders who demonstrate a caring attitude and willingness to receive all youth.
___ Willingness to build relationships with all teenagers by being available at all times and meeting their needs for "a listening ear, a caring voice and an outstretched hand."
___ Patience and an ability to help young people turn their mistakes into learning.
___ Ability to implement programs that meet varied needs of at-risk young people.
___ A love that will not give up on young people and a genuine enthusiasm for ministry among them.
