Overview: The National Network of Youth Ministries links youth workers for encouragement, spiritual growth, and sharing resources, in order to expose every teenager to the gospel of Jesus Christ, establish those who respond in a local church and disciple them to help reach the world.  Best known for leadership of See You at the Pole, NNYM is a grassroots movement of youth workers taking seriously the task of reaching every young person in their communities for Christ. If this is going to happen, we need a healthy network within the reach of every youth worker in America who will build on four building blocks of a healthy network: prayer, relationships, resources, and strategies.

NNYM now consists of over 750 community networks and 75 national Cooperating Ministries representing 100,000 churches and 250,000 youth workers and 3 million youth. The goal is to reach every student, every school and every community for Jesus Christ. Together their collaborations are have resulted in over 60% of high schools with youth ministries, mobilizing mentors across America, tackling the problem of students going on in the faith after high school and initiatives like Paradise '08 (May 25, 2008).

What we offer: An opportunity for youth workers and ministries to network for the gospel through prayer, relationships, resources, and strategies.  Networks can be found online at www.youthworkers.net.

What we need: Please help communicate this resource to youth workers in your church and have them join the Network free of charge.  Pray for youth, offer to be a mentor, encourage your youth worker to contact us to “adopt” a school in your area.  7,000 schools are not yet adopted.
