YWAM is a family of ministries, rather than a centralized agency. Although we have main offices, we do not have an international administrative headquarters.

Each YWAM location is responsible for planning outreaches, initiating training programs, recruiting staff, financial resource development, and setting priorities in carrying out ministry.

Please contact individual YWAM locations with specific questions regarding their own ministries and policies. YWAM has hundreds of local bases, as well as national/regional main offices.

Here are some of Youth With A Mission's base-wide common denominators:
• The pre-requisite of the Discipleship Training School
• The mandate to "know God and make Him known"
• A three fold ministry of: evangelism, mercy ministry and training/discipleship
• A shared statement of faith, vision and values
• Accountability at local, national, regional and global levels
