Youth Theology Institute Awarded $475,000 Grant

The Augsburg College Youth Theology Institute (ACYTI) will enter its 13th year with a huge boost from the Lilly Endowment.

This month, Augsburg received a grant of $476,188 to bolster its summer Youth Theology Institute. The award is part of Lilly Endowment Inc.'s High School Youth Theology Institute initiative, which seeks to encourage young people to explore theological traditions, ask questions about the moral dimensions of contemporary issues, and examine how their faith calls them to lives of service.

Each summer, ACYTI brings rising 10th, 11th and 12th graders and recent graduates to campus for an intense week of friendship, classroom learning, worship, solitude, contemplation, discernment, and action.

In its expansion, the ACYTI will be carrying out part of an institutional strategy to enhance Augsburg's connections to congregations. The Institute also hopes to provide students with a more thorough and more thoughtful exploration of opportunities for leadership in church, college, community, and career settings.

The 2016 ACYTI will take place June 19-24, 2016. The Institute will be directed by Dr. Jeremy Myers. Dr. Myers is associate professor of religion in the Youth and Family Ministry department. Justin Lind-Ayres, Augsburg's Associate College Pastor, will lead worships and other leadership exercises. Lonna Field, Program Coordinator for the Christensen Center for Vocation, will continue serving as the Institute's primary coordinator.
