HELP BUILD YOUTH GROUP MAGAZINE
YGM is more than a magazine. It is something we are building together.
Writers. Artists. Photographers. Designers. Teen voices. Parents. Youth leaders. Creators with ideas we have not even thought of yet.
If you believe your creativity can help us speak truth, encourage teens, strengthen families, and equip youth leaders, there may be a place for you on the YGM Staff.
Youth Group Magazine is built through the StoryWorkHouse Creative Partner program, where believers use their gifts to help fill the House with Truth, Creativity, and Hope.
You do not have to have a professional title. You just need a gift you are willing to bring to the table and a desire to build something that points people back to the One true Author.

More Than a Magazine
Youth Group Magazine is being created as a place where faith and real life meet.
A place where teens can ask big questions without being dismissed.
A place where parents can better understand the world their teens are navigating.
A place where youth leaders can find fresh ideas, conversation starters, and practical tools to help students grow.
And a place where young voices, stories, testimonies, art, questions, and creativity can be seen and heard.
Our goal is simple:
Help teens know Jesus, follow Jesus, and live their faith beyond the walls of church.
What You Can Expect
Each issue of Youth Group Magazine will explore topics that matter to teens today through a biblical lens.
You can expect:
Faith and discipleship articles
Big questions and biblical truth
Teen testimonies and spotlights
Culture and technology conversations
Identity and purpose
Books, music, style, and creativity
Challenges that turn faith into action
Parent Connection sections
Youth Leader Connection sections
Questions, stories, artwork, and contributions from the Youth Group Magazine community
Every issue will be designed to start conversations and help faith move from something we talk about to something we actually live.
Built With You, Not Just For You
Youth Group Magazine is not meant to be something teens simply read.
We want it to become something they help create.
Future issues will feature:
Teen testimonies
Artwork
Poetry
Photography
Book reviews
Questions
Devotionals
Camp stories
Youth leader articles
Parent perspectives
Creative writing
Short fiction
Interviews
And more
We believe young people should have a place to tell their stories, ask their questions, and use the gifts God has given them.
What Is Coming Next
Youth Group Magazine will continue exploring the seasons, struggles, questions, and opportunities teens face throughout the year.
Future issues will tackle topics connected to school, friendships, identity, holidays, faith, culture, purpose, relationships, technology, and the everyday challenges of following Jesus in a changing world.
Each issue will be created with one goal in mind:
To help teens move from an inherited faith to a personal faith they can live for themselves.

Because Youth Group Magazine should not only speak to the youth ministry community.
It should be shaped by it.
