The Duke Youth Academy for Christian Formation (DYA) is a year-long program for young people to live in Christ and to think deeply about being Christian. It combines a week-long residency on the Duke University campus with a year of continuing mentorship, practice, and online community. The summer residency week will be June 23-29, 2019.

Each year, the DYA hires gifted and passionate college and seminary students, pastors, lay leaders, and youth pastors to journey with 40 high school students through the DYA. Applications are now open for these mentors and ministry apprentices who form a vital part of our DYA community.

Applicants must complete the online application, including a resume and short-answer questions, via the application portal by February 15, 2019.
