What is the YoungstarsWiki for?

In recent years, we have noticed that the leadership teams in the youth groups are getting younger and younger. The old hands are disappearing and with them their knowledge, some of which has been acquired over many years. The YoungstarsWiki is intended to help ensure that this knowledge is recorded and can be accessed quickly. This will give the leaders a platform where they can share all of their youth group knowledge.

There are also plans for other countries to take part in the project in the future so that knowledge can be shared internationally and in various languages.
