Institute remains YFC’s foundational training ground; providing resources, relationships and experiences that nurture personal devotion to Jesus and equip leaders to fulfill the mission of YFC. Our training goal is to develop Christ-Centered Leaders in Authentic Christ-Sharing Relationships; forever becoming Story Tellers who are Missionally Focused, Committed to Excellence and Empowering Others.

These six phrases shape training modules that develop competencies in topics like:

Christ-Centered Leadership

YFC Five Essentials

3Story and How to Train Others in 3Story

Supervising staff and ministry teams

Relational Ministry Actions

Ministry Processes

Volunteer Life Cycle

New in 2020!

In an effort to include site leaders who are volunteers, we have positioned Institute as a 9 day training event that spans over two weekends. Volunteers and part time staff should consider attending one weekend this year and one weekend the following if they are not able to attend the entire event. Attending the full 9 days is most cost effective, but we now offer this flexibility. This is highly effective training that will benefit all who attend. .

Pricing:

This year there is a slight change in costs and time. The best way to understand this is to compare to 2018. In 2018 registration cost for Institute was $1570-$1770 plus travel, depending on when you registered. Cost for Academy was $700-$900 plus travel, depending on when you registered. Total of 10 days away at Institute and Academy was $2270-$2670 plus travel for two trips to Denver.

In 2020 registration cost for Institute is $2050 (plus travel) for the whole 9-day experience. In addition, we have the new option of attending per module.
