For 30 years, UYWI has been elevating Urban Youth Workers - and we’re not going to stop. At UYWI, we know that Urban Leaders want to make an impact for the Kingdom. 

The problem is, Urban Leaders lack resources and support. They are often under-developed and operating in unhealthy rhythms, which makes them feel unseen, unheard, and unsupported. 

UYWI’s goal is for Urban Leaders to be seen, valued, empowered, and elevated, so that urban youth have the leaders and role models they need to live transformed lives by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 

It's time for Urban Leaders to Be the Leaders They Were Created to Be. In 2024, we will continue to build up organizations, strengthen churches and form networks. UYWI is here for Urban Leaders in their journey of becoming the leader they were created to be.
