The FYI Report on Youth Leader Burnout & Wellbeing

Youth ministry today doesn’t look like it did a decade—or even five years—ago. So the Fuller Youth Institute launched the “Youth Leader Checkup” study believing that healthy youth leaders are better able to overcome burnout and stay in ministry longer. The longer youth leaders stay in their role, the more churches cultivate trust between leaders, students, and their families—which is imperative to forming faith that lasts.

We listened to more than 1,100 youth ministry leaders through surveys and in-depth interviews, and we’re eager to share what we’ve learned. The FYI Report on Youth Leader Burnout & Wellbeing sheds light on common contributors to burnout amongst youth leaders, as well as top practices youth leaders recommend to prevent burnout and promote their wellbeing. You’ll find the latest insights, encouragement from leaders like you, and practical tips for longevity in your ministry.
