Built on the belief that the hope of children and youth living high-risk communities can be restored and their potential be released in Jesus' name through focused partnerships with local church and community organizations, YouthPartnersNET [YPN] launched its nationwide ministries July 1, 2003. With over 30 years of life-changing ministry as Compassion International's USA Ministry, YPN continues to partner with hundreds of local and regional organizations strategically targeting the development of three key areas: Networking, Education and Training.

Urban Connexx
The main success [from attending] Urban Connexx for us was that our students got to go, stay together, and minister together...And that allowed our students to grow closer together, and to bond in ways that they never had bonded together before.
Jeff Moran, Minister to Students
Corbin, Kentucky
Last year over 800 students were a part of the pilot summer of Urban Connexx. They came from all over the United States to join hand and hand with churches and ministries in Chicago. Partnerships were created and the body of Christ was united. This summer will bring even greater things as already over 1,500 students have signed to minister with Urban Connexx in the Chicago area.
Urban Connexx is an urban mission experience brought to you by a partnership between LifeWay Church Resources and YouthPartnersNET. Church groups are partnered with Chicago area ministries and churches for projects during the day and then each night church groups join together for a worship experience led by the Urban Connexx staff. There is still room for your group to be a part of this great experience.
