We exist to make youth ministry networks famous. Our goal isn't to own gatherings or claim your ideas but to share them with a broader audience of people who are also seeking to mobilize their communities!
REGISTER ON OUR WEBSITE
If you are reading this, I'm going to assume that you've registered as a user on our website. Not sure how to do that? See the video. Registered users can opt into receiving email updates from NNYM which include tips, tricks, and encouragement for networking.
REGISTER YOUR NETWORK
HERE is our sweet-spot! Registering your network will help our staff know where great communities are gathering, and it allows us to connect network coordinators together for best practices, event swapping, and general encouragement on both regional and national levels.
CLOSED NETWORK?
If you have a denomination-only gathering - POST IT HERE! Seriously, some leaders within your own denomination may not know there is a gathering. Perhaps you are a network built around a specific purpose. Then be specific with your name (and the description) when you post it. As a regional coordinator, I have run into people at conferences from the same TOWN who were looking to get connected.
NETWORK TOOLS
Confession: we built our website before Facebook and thought we had a killer concept! We realize most of you are hyper-connected and don't want to manage one more platform. In the network info, be sure to clearly post where new friends can get connected. We have an embedded Google calendar, mass-email tool, and a messaging board in our website for more options to serve you.
SERVING NETWORKS
Our staff are advocates for connection. Do you have a question about what NNYM is about? Ask someone on staff! We want to help your network succeed. We have seen what works and what doesn't work in networking, and we can help coach your network into a healthy and productive gathering for your community.
