YMCP Online - The Youth Cartel

The Youth Ministry Coaching Program (YMCP) is the oldest, most robust coaching program in youth ministry. With 600 graduates and participants, in 58 cohorts over the last ten years, we know how to nurture and deliver growth and transformative work in the lives of youth workers.

Now we’ve created a lightweight, accessible and affordable version of our trusted coaching program to meet the need.

Why YMCP Online?
In these challenging and strange times we’re living through, we’ve maximized YMCP for an online experience – YMCP Online. We believe a healthy, vibrant youth ministry needs a healthy, vibrant leader; so YMCP is less ‘skill training’, and more of a leadership development program. And excellent leadership is what our ministries need right now.

You’ll supersize your professional and personal development in leadership and ministry.
Specific, customized coaching and application according to your needs.
Accessible and affordable professional development from wherever you are.
A trusted cohort of other ministry professionals to find community and friendship.

This Six Month Program Includes:

A monthly two hour online lecture

Mark Oestreicher leads interactive teaching through modules on leadership, values, change, and other topics.

A monthly four hour online lab/cohort session

This group will become a safe place of honesty, and friends for life. Interactive and focused on application, processing, and growth with your cohort - a group of five to ten youth workers and one of our trained and experienced lead coaches.

Five, one-on-one, 30 minute coaching sessions with your lead coach

Held via phone or Zoom, between cohort meetings these trained coaches will help you work toward your own growth goals. You’ll also have access to a private FB group for your coach and cohort.

The total cost for YMCP Online is six monthly payments of $299, or a one time payment of $1,794. We happily offer a variety of other payment plans if needed, including the opportunity to pay over two budget years.
