Youth workers create and submit their trench-tested resources to DYM

Youth workers, like you, create a resource for their own ministry...and if it’s a “hit” they submit it to us! Rather than leave a winning resource on their hard drive, the youth worker shares the resource with DYM so other youth workers can benefit from their hard work. Games, videos, sermons, curriculum, ministry calendars… you name it, if it works and will save youth workers time, we want it!

DYM turns quality submissions into amazing resources

The DYM gatekeepers--which are made up of veteran youth workers and a few grammar nerds--evaluate the submissions and then edit the most helpful resources that make the cut (only the best make it to the editing stage). The goal is to take each great resource and make it as user-friendly as possible so another youth worker can adapt it to their ministry context with ease.

The best resources are shared with youth workers around the world!

After a resource is finalized we make it available for you and thousands of other youth workers at a crazy, low price on the DYM store. Authors of those resources get up to 50% of the royalties which many have used to pay medical bills, take vacations, support a side hustle, and even adopt a kid (all true stories)! We are honored to be part of helping youth workers win in any way we can!

Trench-tested resources

Relevant, high quality, ready-to-use or tweak, and affordable.
