YMD HUBS are facilitated by a YMD Advisor

YMD LOCAL

YMD LOCAL events are a central part of YMD HUBS where volunteers, youth leaders, ministers and others who care for teens come together to be trained and supported.

YMD LOCAL events take place in various areas around the country a few times a year and serve as a great introduction to YMD for those just learning about what we do.

YMD LOCAL events include essential training elements which churches can use to initiate further training and development of their ministry to young people.

YMD LOCAL events connect you to a local YMD HUB where you can find the support of peers in a welcoming and supportive environment that needs no preparation and feels nothing like work.

“It’s so refreshing to be served and cared for.”

Youth Worker - Co. Dublin

wide welcome

Youth leaders, volunteers, ministers, para-church workers and all who minister to young people are welcome to come along.

YMD HUBS are free from promoting or recruiting so you can relax knowing you won’t be button-holed for anything or pressurised to participate in anything.

PARTNERSHIP

Loneliness and isolation can be a regular feature of any ministry, not least ministry to young people. YMD HUBS provide opportunities for meeting together for mutual support and encouragement.

YMD HUBS can also facilitate partnership opportunities such as pooling resources and potential for partnership youth events and activities, while allowing local teams to shape and run activities in a way most suited to the local context.

ymd advisors

YMD HUBS give an opportunity for you to get to know YMD Advisors and vice versa.

YMD Advisors are available to help with planning, implementing and evaluating the various ways you serve young people. Those who’ve engaged with YMD for these services have found this hugely valuable.
