FALL CAMPAIGN • $800,000 BY DECEMBER 31
ONE GOSPEL.
EVERY CITY.
ONE MOVEMENT.
Right now, in cities across America, urban youth leaders are discipling students in classrooms, gyms, and living rooms, places most churches have forgotten. They're already doing the work. Will you help us walk alongside them?
THE REALITY
THEY'RE ALREADY DOING THE WORK.
Urban leaders are reaching youth right where they are and pointing them to Jesus.
These leaders are changing lives. They show up for young people every day, often with little support and a lot to carry.
WHAT WE DO AT UYWI IS WALK ALONGSIDE THEM.
NOT FROM A DISTANCE. ALONGSIDE.
Through leadership development, Whole Life Discipleship, organizational leadership development, coaching, and community, we build their capacity to lead.
WHAT WORKS
HERE'S WHAT WE KNOW WORKS.
When leaders have leadership development, the right community, and support, they don't just lead better. They multiply.
