Mark’d Foundations – GAP Year
Mark’d Foundations is a gap year designed to equip and encourage new leaders within The Salvation Army. Participants will acquire leadership skills through study and a practical placement within a youth focused ministry. Although learning is in a youth based setting, the leadership skills acquired are relevant to all forms of ministry within The Salvation Army. Mark’d Foundations is for Salvationists (Adherents and Soldiers) wanting to explore a future in Youth Ministry who have completed Year 12 or equivalent studies. This gap year gives high school graduates the opportunity to experience Youth Ministry whilst deferring from other tertiary studies if required. Mark’d Foundations is a cooperative program between The Salvation Army Training College and The Salvation Army Youth Department. To apply you need to speak with your Divisional Youth Secretary.
