Youth and Mission
United Methodist Women work with youth organizations globally and with programs and projects that support and empower youth. In countries around the world, with United Methodist Women's support, youth are finding innovative ways to address the HIV/AIDs pandemic, build leadership skills, address political problems, work for peace and justice in their societies, and more.
United Methodist Women also enable youth to be in mission by support of the US-2 program, the mission intern program and the global justice program.
A special emphasis of the organization has been to involve young women in all the ministries and leadership of United Methodist Women. The Division has a teen and college/university women consultative group and internships for young women. The consultative group meets on a yearly basis to direct the program of United Methodist Women so that it is inclusive of younger women. Internships for young women include the Genie Bank internship that focuses on inviting and involving young women in the total life of United Methodist Women.
