Greater NY youth workers are already familiar with Reload, the best-of-class, one-day training experience offered by Urban Youth Workers Institute (UYWI) in 20+ cities each year. Metro New York has hosted Reload for 4 of the last 5 years, in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. Each of the last 3 years the region has set the attendance mark for Reload nationally, with more than 900 gathering last year at Christ Tabernacle in Queens.

This year, Greater New York and New Jersey will innovate Reload 1.2.3.

In UYWI’s ongoing effort to make quality training accessible to grassroots youth workers close to where they minister and at a price they can afford, NY/NJ will host the first multi-site, multi-state Reload conference on June 12, 2010. That’s right:

* 1 Conference
* 2 States
* 3 Sites

Even more exciting, Reload 1.2.3 will demonstrate what empowered youth leadership looks like as emerging leaders will be integrated into every aspect of the day.

As you may have heard, in January the Coalition of Urban Youth Workers transitioned leadership from co-chairs Walter Sotelo and Kevin Young to me as its new Chairperson. After serving the Coalition for three years in a supportive function as the architect of 20/20 Vision for Schools, it is an honor to have been asked to assume a leadership role again after that assignment ended.

This Monday, February 8, is our regular network meeting from 10-12. In January, Coalition presented a vision for 2010 that includes connecting youth workers, cultivating leadership, collaborative partnerships, and communicating for greater Kingdom effectiveness.

This month, we will unpack those ideals in an effort to bring training resources, collaborative opportunities, and connecting points with other youth workers closer to where we actually serve in ministry.

What: Network and Planning Meeting
Where: Nyack College Manhattan Center
361 Broadway (b/w Leonard and Franklin Streets)
6th Floor Conference Room
When: Monday February 8, 10 am – 12 pm
Who: NYC church and para-church youth workers
Why: Trained youth workers collaborating for exponential Kingdom impact

Please RSVP your attendance via email. Thank you!

In Service,
Jeremy Del Rio

Once again He has opened a great door of opportunity that we would like to share with you.
On Monday January 11th @ 10am the Coalition will be hosting a State of the Coalition address at Nyack College located 361 Broadway 4th floor NYC.

Please Join us.

He has provided for us, both spiritual and materially. So we say thank you Lord! We Praise your name and rejoice in your goodness. Give us eyes to see your hand at work in this city. Enable us to realize that every good thing comes from you. Deepen our gratitude for one another so that we might serve you with undivided and joyful hearts. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
