IIRC, Pope Benedict has a LOT of experience with Catholic youth, involvement in directing of vast programming etc.

Shortly after Pope Benedict was selected, there were many stories about how Cardinal Ratzinger would always take time to meet with students attending daily Mass.

He would even join them for lunch and talk about issues of the day for the younger generation.

He was always, and is, very approachable; eager to work with students.
