Abstract

Procrastination is a persistent challenge among Generation Z adolescents navigating distraction-rich digital environments. This community service program aimed to strengthen knowledge of procrastination and self-management strategies and support their practical application among teen leaders of the GKI Gejayan Youth Commission. Forty participants completed a four-phase program comprising qualitative needs assessment and socialization, on-site training, mentored practice, and evaluation. The instructional design integrated Kolb's Experiential Learning framework with selected learner-centered principles adapted from Knowles' andragogical approach, while evaluation was organized using Kirkpatrick's Four-Level Model. A paired-sample t-test showed a statistically significant increase in self-management knowledge from pre-test (M = 70.00, SD = 12.50) to post-test (M = 80.00, SD = 11.80), t(39) = 7.44, p < .001, d = 1.18. Participant satisfaction was high for both training content (M = 4.80/5) and facilitators (M = 4.82/5). Exploratory qualitative findings from task journals, self-reports, observations, and partner feedback suggested greater awareness of procrastination triggers, application of selected self-management strategies, and favorable changes in aspects of ministry coordination. Because these behavioral and team-level outcomes were not assessed using standardized pre-post measures, they were interpreted descriptively. Overall, the program demonstrated significant knowledge gains and preliminary evidence of strategy application, supporting the feasibility of experiential self-management training in a faith-based youth-community setting.

Abstract

Leadership development in intergenerational youth ministry requires not only conceptual understanding but also opportunities to reflect on leadership motivation, communication, and conflict-management practices. This community service program aimed to strengthen participants' conceptual knowledge of servant leadership and support the application of servant-oriented leadership practices among members of the GKI Gejayan Youth Commission. Forty participants completed a four-phase program comprising program socialization and qualitative needs assessment, on-site training, online mentored practice, and evaluation. The training included two core sessions: Servant Leadership Training and an Assertive Communication and Conflict Resolution Workshop. The Leading by Serving module served as the primary instructional framework and emphasized five servant-leadership themes selected for their relevance to the identified ministry needs: empathy, humility, stewardship, commitment to others' growth, and moral and social responsibility. Evaluation was organized using Kirkpatrick's Four-Level Model. Pre- and post-training results showed a statistically significant increase in participants' conceptual knowledge of servant leadership from pre-test (M = 60.00, SD = 11.80) to post-test (M = 80.00, SD = 10.90), t(39) = 9.37, p < .001, with a large effect size (Cohen's dz = 1.48). Participant satisfaction was also high for both training content (M = 4.60/5) and facilitators (M = 4.70/5). Exploratory qualitative findings from participant reflections, facilitator observations, mentoring records, and partner feedback suggested greater awareness of leadership motivations, attempts to apply servant-oriented leadership practices, and more intentional use of assertive communication and constructive conflict-management strategies. Partner feedback additionally suggested favorable changes in selected aspects of team communication and intergenerational collaboration. Because behavioral and team-level outcomes were not assessed using standardized pre-post measures, these findings were interpreted descriptively. Overall, the program demonstrated significant gains in conceptual knowledge and preliminary evidence of behavioral application, supporting the feasibility of experiential servant-leadership training in an intergenerational church-ministry context.
