I fix it right away, i make side comments that only the couple will understand and they usually catch on. After the event I will remind them that we desire they do their PDA on their own time and not while at church or an event.

I'm dealing with something really similar right now. In fact, later today I'm meeting with a couple of guys from my youth group who are both in relationships with girls in the youth group. My approach will be to talk to them about expectations, boundaries and how they can respect their girlfriends and their purity. As for conflict with leadership, I would suggest meeting with the leader and discussing what boundaries are acceptable within the youth group and what should be done about it. Maybe there is just some miscommunication/misunderstanding between the two of you? Or, since this is a tough issue to approach, maybe they just need some encouragement and to know the other leaders are in their corner.

If its something innocent like holding hands or a quick kiss, I let that slide. However if there is serious PDA going on then I correct it immediately. I pull the students aside and explain to them that these events aren't for "hooking up" but for fellowship and glorifying God.
