YFM Training

Our YFM Training support calls are designed to support all YFM directors, teachers, and ministers by sharing ideas and information about topics relevant to those involved with YFM ministries. Each session will include a content portion — which will be recorded and made available on this page as an on-demand resource available for everyone — as well as a discussion portion to exchange ideas and suggestions and make the content practical and usable.
