For over 30 years Youth Specialties has worked alongside Christian youth workers of just about every denomination and youth-serving organization. We're here to help you, whether you're brand new to youth ministry or a veteran, whether you're a volunteer or a career youth pastor. Each year we serve more than 100,000 youth workers worldwide through our training Seminars and Conventions, resources, and here on the Internet.

Our office is in sunny El Cajon, California, an eastern suburb of San Diego (see a live view of the beach—or, to really rub it in, check out San Diego's weather).
