The 2019 YTI Crowdfunding Campaign is Underway!

July 01, 2019

Dear YTI Friends,

 

Thank you for your generous support to the YTI Momentum campaign last summer as we celebrated our 25th Anniversary!

 

This year, we are excited to have expanded the YTI program to include offerings from YTI IMPACT (Immersion in Meaningful Practices of Action, Community, and Theology) to meet the needs and challenges facing our youth, the church, and society today around the world. Your generosity and support allows us to continue reaching youth and shaping public theologians to lead in the midst of today’s challenges. We invite you to follow our 2019 campaign to witness this life changing experience unfold for our current scholars.

 

Please join us again this year as we soar to our goal of $5,600 that will fully fund a two-year YTI experience for a scholar. At the end of the campaign, Beth Corrie will add $10 for every unique donor who gives to the campaign, up to $1,000.  Let’s do this together!

We did it!

Congratulations! You knocked it out of the park! Thanks to your generous support, more than $13,000 (including our initial challenge gifts) has been raised to support future YTI scholars. This 25th Anniversary campaign is our most successful one yet. Thank you, and please check out this video from a few of our scholars!

Let's Keep it Going!

July 24, 2018

Congratulations! We hit out goal early!

 

What an incredible weekend highlighting the world changing work of YTI alumni. It’s been a blast reconnecting with old friends and building new friendships across YTI generations! From Nobel Peace Prize winners to social activists with national platforms to the world changing work many of you do behind the scenes, we remain inspired by how you live out your calling as a public theologian.

 

Thank you so much for your support. Let’s keep going! The more we raise, the more support we can give to future scholars. Just five days until we wrap-up the campaign! Please share our Momentum page easily on Twitter and Facebook, or email the link so that we can finish strong. momentum.emory.edu/YTI2018

What better way to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Youth Theological Initiative (YTI) than with our fourth annual crowdfunding campaign? Your support provides immediate impact  to our scholars by subsidizing the overall cost of YTI.

 

Check out the video below highlighting the YTI IMPACT Journeys of Faith and Reconciliation travel seminar to Belfast.
