 YAADs must be between the ages of 18-23  on June 25, 2024. Presbyteries may elect one YAAD who is an active member of a one of its congregations or participant in a New Worshipping Community or immigrant fellowship that has a relationship with the presbytery. The names of YAADs for the 226th GA are due from presbyteries no later than December 28, 2023.  TSAD names are due from eligible theological institutions no later than December 28, 2023.
Not only do Young Adult Advisory Delegates (YAADs) and Theological Student Advisory Delegates (TSADs) bring a special perspective to  the General Assembly, their service fosters stronger connections and cultivates future leaders for the church.
