What is NYSUM?

Founded in 1984, in the past 37 years the New York School of Urban Ministry (NYSUM) has hosted, trained and deployed over 150,000 youth and adults for urban ministry by partnering with inner city pastors, churches and ministries in New York City. Groups learn about inner-city ministry through cross-cultural, “hands-on” urban ministry to the NYC community. Outreaches take place via street meetings, soup kitchens, kids programs, city shelters and more. Learn more about NYSUM by visiting their website.
