Please take a couple of minutes to help US help YOU!

This blogpost has an urgent need. We're asking for your help in updating your information on the NNYM website.

This fall, we are launching a revamped website that will provide:

  • Easy interface to help you connect with a network near you, people with interests like yours, and trustworthy ministries you can use in your ministry
  • Upgraded free platform for local networks to help youth leaders work together to reach their community
  • Mobility so you can access and manage information from your phone or computer
  • Faster connection to help you make connections.

Please help by checking your local information

The Network's vision is to serve local networks. Our goal is a healthy network in every community, so that every teenager can know how to have a relationship with Jesus Christ. We desire to serve local networks so they are healthy.

Networking at its best is very decentralized. So in order for our website to serve the youth ministry community, the information needs to be kept up to date at the local level. We are constantly contacted for local connections. An accurate listing of networks helps new people connect when they transfer communities. As you can imagine, we don't want to launch the new site without accurate information.

Youth Pastor transition happens, but connecting with vital community contacts will increase longevity. NNYM is committed to helping make that connection.

Here's how you can help:

  1. Check your own personal listing. Update the information and renew your membership. That lets us know you're up to date. Especially important is your contact information: a "work phone" is your only public phone number, but a valid email address and current ministry and "snail mail" are important too.
     
  2. If you are no longer a coordinator, please write back and let us know, and change the information on your NNYM listing. You can also cancel your membership if you are no longer in a youth ministry role.
     
  3. Make sure the information about the network(s) you're connected to is current. If you're not involved, you can remove your name.
     
  4. If you are a coordinator of a local network, please edit and update the information listed for your network. If there are other leader(s), ask them to get registered on our website and affiliated with your network, then add them as a co-coordinator. If someone else has moved into that role, but you're still listed, it would really be helpful to work with them to sign up, connect with the network, and then you can assign them the role before you remove yourself.
     
  5. If your network is inactive, you can remove it. Please do that! We'll be automatically notified.
     
  6. If there is a network in your area that isn't listed, please add it! We'd love to help in any way we can. We want to spread the word about what you are doing in your community!

This is a big request. We realize you're busy. But we really appreciate your help! We look forward to serving you with the many improvements on our remodeled site this fall! Thank you.

If you have any questions, please contact me. I'll do my best to help!
