Youth Pastors + Emerging Leaders Fellowship —
Fostering valuable connections among our next-gen leaders.






In partnership with Nyack College, LEAD.NYC’s Youth Pastors + Emerging Leaders Fellowship (YPELF) hosts events with unique opportunities to fellowship, network, and develop skillsets that allow young leaders to grow together. We believe that when young leaders collaborate and join forces, they can create a catalyst for change in a movement that can impact both our city and future generations to come.
