The DeVos Urban Leadership Initiative exists to come alongside urban youth workers and support them with cutting edge leadership training. Through an intensive 15-month faith-based leadership development program, each year approximately 60 urban youth workers from five select U.S. cities are accepted in the training.
Who We Are
Across the country, thousands of Christian leaders are on a mission to make a transformative difference in the lives of urban youth growing up in poverty. Despite their passion and drive, many lack the resources and skills to stay in ministry for the long-term. The DeVos Urban Leadership Initiative exists to come alongside these leaders and support them with cutting edge leadership training. It’s both a fresh way of thinking and practical experience needed to make a difference.
