Selection Process for the YAD videos

Several gifted Youth Advisory Delegates (YADs) were selected by the Office of the General Assembly as candidates to participate in this video project. Notices were sent to the Executive Presbyters of each of the finalists' home presbyteries, and the final selection was based on their recommendations. 

The final three YADs contributed to this project on top of their already busy schedules by working on their scripts and concept ideas with the 217th General Assembly Communications staff.
