What is AYM?
Area Youth Ministry (AYM) is a nationwide 501(c)3 non-profit founded in 2018 by a group of recent college graduates. We began in California and now have chapters across the country.
AYM exists to invest in the next generation. We provide opportunities for students to build meaningful relationships, connect with positive mentors, and grow alongside like-minded peers.
In today’s world of cell phones and digital distractions, AYM creates intentional spaces where youth can step away from screens and experience authentic connection, growth, and community.
Our foundation is faith-based, but our focus is on creating a welcoming environment where all youth feel valued and included. Participation in our activities does not require any religious involvement, though opportunities to explore faith are available for those who are interested.
