National Network of Youth Ministries

What NNYM is All About

Our vision is to see every youth leader thrive in deeper connection with God and each other so that every young person is changed by the story of Jesus.

We create collaborative spaces for youth leaders to be personally encouraged, professionally equipped and spiritually strengthened for faithful and effective ministry with the next generation.

Thriving Leaders Have Greater Impact

Your investment is changing lives!

Our city is experiencing transformational change as local leaders come together to share the story of Jesus with the next generation.

Did you know the average tenure of a youth leader is just 3.9 years? Research from Simply Youth Ministry shows this alarming trend. Yet, our work is proving that connection matters—youth leaders engaged in healthy networks see their ministry longevity soar to 9.2 years or more in the same role.

We are passionate about equipping and uniting youth ministry leaders. Together, we’re strategically reaching MORE students across our area and inspiring them to become lifelong followers of Jesus.
