UYI's mission is recruiting, training, resourcing and deploying youth workers to work with young people in their own environments. As a result of this ministry, over 100 youth workers are actively interfacing with streetwise kids. . .challenging them to make better life choices and letting them know that following Jesus is a much better option than the what the streets offer.

UYI is the model for cities throughout the U. S. for creating this unique concentrated effort to train and fund full-time outreach workers who seek to empower teens and pre-teens to become healthy, productive members of society. UYI workers go where kids are, building relationships, serving as volunteers in their schools, providing holistic after-school programming, and engaging them in various summer camping and enrichment activities. Several of the ministries employ a trained educational specialist to help young people succeed academically.
