Everything For Your NG Group
Have you just started a New Generation group? Here you can find A DOWNLOADABLE GUIDE FOR HOW TO START PLUS three steps ABOUT WHAT TO DO NOW!
1. Have the first meeting
No matter if you are alone, or if you have a complete group it is a good idea to have a first meeting. Take a moment were you sit down and think through what you want with your group. Maybe start planning to do something like an outreach. It’s also good to pray for the group and inviting God to be a part of it.
Further down on this page you'll find different types of recourses and ideas for outreaches for your NG group
2. Take the first step
Do a small outreach that don’t need a lot of preparation! Think about what your school need and convert that faith into action. Look to yourself and the group and analyze what are you good at and what talents and abilities you can use. What outreach do you want to do at your school or university?
3. MAKE THE GROUP KNOWN
When you’ve started a New Generation group it’s good to get the word out there that the group exists! Some suggestions is to start some social media accounts, put up posters and use the communication platforms provided at your school or uni. It's also positive to tell your principal/people in charge that you've started the group and briefly explain what you want to do. It’s good if them to understand who you are and that you want to improve the atmosphere.
Theme Day Calendar
During a year there are SO many opportunities for outreaches with your New Generation group! One way to frame an outreach is to use an established theme day :) Sometimes that helps both with creativity to come up with ideas and with getting permission to do your outreach.

Christmas Outreaches
The Christmas box
Give your fellow students or your schoolmates the best present this Christmas season - share the message of the Saviour, Jesus Christ.
This Christmas New Generation is organizing an awesome, global, evangelistic outreach! The idea is to hand out small boxes as a Christmas gift at your school or university.
When the receiver lifts the lid, the box falls to it's sides and becomes a card shaped like a cross. On this card you can share your faith. To make the boxes even more festive you can fill them with some candies or chocolates.
To be a part of the campaign download the Christmas box through the button below and follow the tutorial to see how you make the box. To the right you can follow step by step as well.

LABLES TO GO WITH HANDOUTS (TRAD HEART)
Handing out different types of sweets is a popular outreach done by New Generation groups on Valentines Day. To make sure people know who's doing the outreach and where they should go if they have questions - print and cut these lables and tape them to the sweets. Many groups also print hearts and put them on students lockers etc. Also a nice idea!
