2023 Youth Worker Well-Being Report

A year ago, in response to the Barna research about Pastor Well-Being, The Youth Cartel, Jeremiah Project, and Arbor Consulting coordinated efforts to attend to the well-being of employed youth workers.

We found some highly concerning results, including 41% of youth workers either considering stepping out of ministry or they had done so in the past two years. Maybe even more concerning was the data point that a full 50% of respondents said their own spiritual well-being was average, below average or poor.

This year, with the wear-and-tear of doing ministry during the pandemic a little more behind us, our tribe is doing a little better; but a high risk of burnout still lingers for many.
