YTI Summer Academy
The YTI Summer Academy is a 29-year-old ecumenical program in justice-seeking theological education. Our next Summer Academy will be held July 10-23, 2022.

The goal of our Summer Academy is to empower young people by providing space where they can explore their most important questions about both faith and the world alongside youth who share their interests and adults with theological training.
Taking Your Faith to College
A workshop that seeks to introduce youth to serious theological tools that can empower them as they make the transition to college and adulthood.
