Work With Young People
The Methodist Church has approximately 30,000 members under 25 years old, and some Methodist churches work with young people in their communities. Work with young people is overseen by the Children and Youth Team, (originally called MAYC). Once a year, young people have a chance to meet and discuss church issues at Methodist Youth Assembly and are represented throughout the year by the Methodist Youth President a paid young person. Formerly there was also a biannual event called "Breakout" which evolved from the London Weekend this saw its last festival in July 2010.
