WE DEVELOP URBAN LEADERS WHO MAKE AN IMPACT
UYWI exists to develop the urban youth worker so that urban youth have the leaders and role models they need to live transformed lives by the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We believe transformation happens when leaders are healthy, supported, and equipped with a plan, a pathway, and a community behind them.
What you're feeling is real
Urban leaders are called to the frontlines—but too many feel:
• Isolated in their calling
• Overwhelmed by the needs
• Under-resourced and undervalued
• Unsure how to lead for the long haul
And with few accessible models of urban leadership, contextualized urban leadership training, and discipleship to support your development as leaders, you suffer in isolation.
