Ministry Focus
The ministry focus of Nazarene Youth International is to youth ages 12 and older, college/university students, and young adults. Regional, field, district, and local NYI councils may modify the ministry focus as seen fit, consistent with the ministry plan for that level.
For the purposes of representation and programming, Nazarene Youth International establishes three divisions — early youth, senior youth, and college/university/young adult.
