Here is the communication line for youth events at NHC:
1. Announced weekly at youth group.
2. Printed announcement on student's hand out
3. Communicated in the monthly Parentline newsletter calendar
4. Placed on the events page of our youth web site and church calendar
5. Parents and YM team get a weekly e-mail with the info and links to the web page
6. Depending on the event we make posters.
7. Communicate on Facebook with our groups and events
8. Special reminder e-mails
99.9% of our communication is done online because the majority of parents have e-mail and web access. This saves a small forest.
How does your youth ministry communicate?

We do quite a few of the ones above. We also do a reminder on a Friday for the Sunday meeting so what the topic is and if the Young People need to bring things with them (for example this week its fancy dress!)
We have a group on facebook so that the young people can share photos taken at events and stuff like that.
We have been using this website called texthub.com. It allows us to enter all the students who are willing to participate to enter their phone numbers. We then have the ability to send mass text message to everyone in the group. It has nice features that allow you to catergorize groups. i.e. junior high and high school.
We have found this helpful because 90% of the group has a cell phone, even kids in 5th and 6th grade.
