Programs Overview

YTI Summer Academy
The YTI Summer Academy is a 31-year-old ecumenical program in justice-seeking theological education. Our next Summer Academy will be held July 13-26, 2025.

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.

Open to those who will be in the 10th-12th grades in the 2025-2026 school year.

YTI Custom Workshops
YTI can offer custom workshops of varying lengths at your church or school. We work with you to shape the workshop in response to the needs of your community. All of our workshops are shaped by YTI's mission to share critical theological tools with youth.​
