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.

The Types of Questions You Might Bring to YTI

At YTI we believe all questions are important and that asking them is essential to a healthy faith.

  • What is the bible and how can I go about understanding what it says?
  • How should I relate to other faiths?
  • Why do bad things happen?
  • How do I decide what justice is?
  • How can I make the world better than it is right now?

Eligibility
High school students who will be in the 10th, 11th, and 12th grade in the 2022-2023 school year.
Never forget that justice is what love looks like in public.
