Lovingly offer to meet student and youth leader (8)
I believe the answer is:
tenderly
'lovingly' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'offer to meet student and youth leader' is the wordplay.
'offer' becomes 'tender' (tender can mean to offer something).
'to meet' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'student' becomes 'L' (as in L-plates for learner drivers).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'youth leader' becomes 'y' (I've seen this in other clues).
'tender'+'l'+'y'='TENDERLY'
(Other definitions for tenderly that I've seen before include "Gently, sympathetically" , "in affectionate manner" , "In gentle and fond manner" , "Sensitively" , "In gentle and loving manner" .)
