Make the National Youth Workers Convention whatever you want...whatever you need.

Here you'll find everything you need to make NYWC exactly what you're looking for. You won't want to miss this chance to get away, get inspired, get equipped, and get motivated for another year of ministry with students.

NEW this year...

Ways for you to connect deeper with others, engage in meaningful conversations, and contribute to the event to make it exactly what you need.

• Join the "Car Pool" and connect with others before you even get to the event. Form your own group of people who share your passions, interests, or ministry setting to attend seminars or share meals with. Meet up with old friends or make new friends! Info coming soon!
• Pre-Convention Events: Come a day early for a spiritual retreat, a celebration of women in youth ministry, or to get certified as a Presenter.
• "Cohorts:" Join a select group of either youth ministry veterans or rookies to experience the convention at a whole new level as you follow a track of specially designed Cohort seminars. Spend time learning, discussing, connecting, and building new relationships. Check out the veteran page or 1st 2 Years page for more info. Info coming soon!
• Sign up for "Open Source" seminars, where you get to help shape the content and direction of the session before you even get to the Convention.
• Sanctuary: Take part in a variety of experiences to help you connect with God on Saturday and Sunday during NYWC. Taking place throughout the day, you can participate in everything from art and music to prayer exercises and the Stations of the Cross. Learn more here.
• Seminar Tracks: We've created new tracks for our seminars this year. Follow the track you're interested in, or jump around to the topics that interest you. Learn more about the tracks here.

And don't forget about the other parts of the event you know and love...

• Critical Concerns Courses: Come a day early and participate in six hours of training in everything from speaking to marriage to technology to crisis.
• General Sessions: Come to worship with the top worship leaders, laugh and be entertained by comedians and artists, and be challenged by the compelling speakers at the General Sessions. Learn more here
• Soul Care: Make sure your soul gets what it needs at NYWC. Spend time in the prayer chapel or meet with a spiritual director. Attend the Soul Care seminars or join in the prayer services throughout the day. Learn more here
