We form Christian leaders for thoughtful, just, and creative ministry with young people.
Bridging Theology and Practice in Youth Ministry
Since our founding in 1995, the Institute for Youth Ministry at Princeton Theological Seminary has connected theology and practice in youth ministry through research, programs, events, and resources. We train ministry leaders who work with young people, support emerging scholarship, and collaborate with Christian congregations and organizations. In all of our work, we celebrate God’s just and creative movement in the lives and experiences of young people.
Youth ministry leaders, we want to help you strengthen and reimagine your work through our programs, resources, and events.

What leaders who work with us are saying...
"These are among the most brilliant, creative, and dedicated leaders in youth ministry. They have done the research and background work, they are prepared to adapt to anything, and they are committed to helping your youth, community, and congregation thrive."
"If you’re looking for thoughtful, scholastically minded youth ministry professionals, the IYM is second to none."
"The IYM is the best youth ministry training ground for youth leaders. The staff and leadership are 100% committed."
"The IYM helped me think theologically about youth ministry. Since working with the IYM, I haven't been afraid to ask young people to contribute to the larger church's understanding of God."
