NO JOKE! IT'S FREE!

Our cohort experience was built with two realities in mind:
  1. Ministry is one of the most uniquely lonely occupations around. You are often surrounded by people, but consistently feel like you are “the only one.”

  2. Youth Ministry Leaders are often overworked, under-resourced, and misunderstood. 

​​​​

What if there were a space for youth ministry leaders who are hungry to pursue personal and ministry health to regularly connect  in a community with others who get it?​​

OUR WINTER/SPRING COHORT
SEASON HAS CONCLUDED.

STAY TUNED FOR ANNOUNCEMENTS ON OUR FALL 2026 COHORT LINE UP

COHORT OPTIONS FALL UNDER THREE CATEGORIES: 

Core, Focused, & Deep Dive

 Core Cohorts:

 These are our trench-tested 10 week online small group experience marked by meaningful community and conversations, group and individual coaching, practical and applicable content, and ridiculous amounts of fun.

 

Every Core Cohort features:​

  • Weekly Zoom calls (90 minures) 

  • 1:1 coaching call 

  • Resource Downloads

  • Working Genius assessment & debrief 

  • Access to a private group chat with your Cohort

  • Access to the private  Facebook Group

  • Supplemental audio, and video training materials

  • YML Cohort Swag sent to your home

If you have never taken part in one of our cohorts, this is the place to start. If you are coming back for another round, core cohorts are still a fantastic place to land.

 Focused Cohorts

 

These cohorts run the same model of our Core Cohort experience. We simply craft the calls and topics in a way that focuses on specific group of Youth Ministry Leaders. 

Past Focused Cohorts Have Included:

 

  • Long Haul: For those with 12+ years of Youth Ministry experience. 

  • Alumni: For those who have gone through a Core Cohort.

  • Women Only: For those with 12+ years of Youth Ministry experience.  

  • Starting Right: For those who have just started in youth ministry or made a move where they feel like they are starting all over again. 

COMING SOON!

  • Middle School Ministry

Deep Dive Cohorts

 

These  cohorts feature all the values of a Core or Focused Cohort with two differences:

  1. We lock in to specific aspect of the personal or professional life of a ministry leader. 

  2. We run them at different lengths.


Past Deep Dives Have Included: 

 

  • Soul Care: An 11 week inward journey to pursue physical, spiritual, emotional, and intellectual growth and health in community as we start a new year.*

  • Hybrid Ministry: An 8 week journey focused on honing your social media skills as you develop a digital discipleship game plan.

COMING SOON:

  • Working Genius

  • Intentional Programming

If you've never participated in a YML Cohort, we recommend starting with a Core Cohort to get a feel for what we are all about. However, we want you to go with what you think will be best for you.

PARTICIPANTS SAY:
Without YML Cohort, I don’t know if I would still be a youth pastor. It sounds extreme, but it is so true. In a very difficult season, I had no one to turn to when I needed help, but through God’s perfect timing, YML Cohort was an answer to prayer.

THE FACILITATOR TEAM

We are a collection of youth ministry veterans, coaches, pastors, specialists, and Cohort Alumni. None of us have it "figured out," but we care about the personal and professional health of youth ministry leaders. We know the power of walking in community with others who get it.
