Youth Ministry Imprints…
A Resource Written by Youth Workers for Youth Workers.


What is the Youth Ministry Imprints Resource?

Youth Unlimited frequently hears youth workers talking about the high value they place on networking with other youth workers. In the Youth Ministry Imprints Resource, we hope you will find the equivalent of a North American Youth Worker’s network.

We collected the most frequently asked questions by youth workers of YU, put them in a list, and asked a wide variety of churches throughout North America for their answers. We visited some of these churches in person, but most church leaders answered our questions by email and during follow-up phone conversations. We have tried to represent a wide variety of sizes, styles, denominations, regions, U.S. and Canadian churches. We asked both volunteer and paid youth workers to respond. You will see that the current majority of responding churches are staffed by paid youth workers, but we will be updating this binder annually and continuing to add a wide variety of churches. As much as possible, we’ve kept each youth worker’s speaking voice as they answered your FAQ’s; keeping each person’s tone makes this resource more of a conversation rather than a list of statistics.
