Scranton Youth Ministry will be hosting Lead Like Jesus, a diocesan high school leadership retreat (formerly known as I.S.L.I.) from Friday, March 20th– Sunday, March 22nd, 2026 at Chapman Lake Retreat Center in Jermyn, PA.
This event is a leadership retreat for high school students (grades 9-12) interested in developing and refining their leadership skills, learning how to lead from a place of prayer, and learning and applying the fundamental leadership skills of support, awareness, self-confidence, positive thinking, and values. Most fundamentally, students will be encouraged and given the skills necessary to contemplate the following questions: What does it mean to be a leader grounded in the Person of Jesus Christ? What does a personal relationship with Jesus Christ look like? How is God inviting me to serve him based on the gifts and abilities that he has given to me personally?
This retreat will include time for small group discussion, leadership building exercises, prayer, sacraments, recreation, and community. High school students are encouraged to apply using the link below.
Please note that this retreat has an application process. Applications will be reviewed by our diocesan retreat leadership team and students will be notified of a decision in March.
Please note also that this retreat begins with check-in at 4:30PM on Friday, March 20th and will end at 12PM on Sunday, March 22nd.
