Every day in the United States and around the world, dedicated youth workers minister to hurting kids and their families. Currently, most of their work tends to be shaped by either past habits or anecdotal evidence. For the sake of the kingdom of God as well as wise stewardship of the gospel, these youth workers need innovative models and practices that reflect current research on the ever-changing landscape of youth, families, and culture.

At FYI we take these needs seriously, translating research into practical resources that youth workers and parents can use in their contexts. Led by Dr. Kara Powell, Executive Director, FYI publishes books, articles, downloadable audio resources, and curriculum for youth workers. In addition, we have created a unique Certificate in Urban Youth Ministry program—the first of its kind in the nation—that trains urban youth workers while allowing them to remain in their place of ministry.
