Another DVULI class is off to a great start!

In February 2024, a diverse group of 57 Christian leaders who serve urban youth in Boston, Indianapolis, Louisville, Memphis, and Phoenix completed their first local workshop in their 15-month DVULI leadership development journey.

We’re proud to introduce them all and ask for prayers on their behalf as they dig into our training materials, get to know their fellow cohort members, and “trust the process”–one that many alumni claim transforms their personal and professional lives for the better.
