Program overview
Training for meaningful summer ministry
Christian Youth in Action® is a summer training and ministry program that helps young people own their faith and share the Gospel clearly, effectively, and in a way children can understand.
During a one-week training session, participants learn to present the Gospel on a child's level, counsel a child for salvation, teach Bible lessons and missionary stories, lead songs and games, teach Bible verses, and guide a lively review time.
After training, participants serve in community clubs that primarily welcome children who don't regularly attend church. Those who complete the program receive a certificate of completion.
The June 20–26, 2026 training session and its June 1 registration deadline have passed. Contact CEF Ventura for the next schedule and application details.
