Communicating an important message to youth groups, whether in a school, church or other communal settings, can be challenging. The children or young adults involved may be resistant to listening to parents, teachers, or other adult authority figures. Engaging dedicated youth speakers can provide a valuable asset when attempting to impart knowledge and offer guidance or comfort.
Youth Speakers Provide a Unique Voice
In many cases, the message that you want a youth speaker to deliver to a group is very similar to what you would tell them yourself. There may be teachers or administrators who can convey comparable life lessons or advice to the audience. Perhaps these caring adults have even made multiple attempts to get their message across to the group of youths in question. For some unexplained reason, your good intentions are not resulting in a corresponding change in behavior or attitude.
Perhaps this is because the audience, to some extent, is tuning out the message being spread by familiar faces such as teachers or coaches. It is quite typical of young minds to question and rebel against authority to varying degrees. This mindset hinders attempts at communication almost before they even get started. Your message may be ignored no matter how valid or valuable it could be to the group.
Presenting a unique voice to deliver a similar message may be all that is needed to engage the audience and drive home the intended points. A quality youth speaker will build a rapport with the group which enables them to communicate on a more direct level than when addressed by school faculty. Optimally, audience members will be able to identify with the person speaking to them and be more open to accepting the knowledge or assistance being disseminated.
Youth Speakers for a Variety of Situations
You may choose to provide a professional speaker for a group to address a wide range of situations. Some may be planned in advance to concentrate on long-term issues of concern. Unexpected events can lead to scenarios where quickly engaging a youth speaker can be instrumental in the emotional health of your youth group.
Daily problems such as bullying, peer pressure, and avoiding drug and alcohol use can be dealt with by scheduling speakers in advance. Driving the points home with regularly scheduled gatherings may increase the likelihood that the message will be heard. Employing a variety of speakers whose message coincides can further help spread the intended message.
Unfortunately, tragedy is a common thread in the lives of many of today’s young people. The after-effects of horrific events such as the suicide of a classmate, a deadly car accident, or a school shooting demand that drastic measures be taken to help mitigate the damage. The right speaker may be able to help ease the group’s collected pain.
