Success Stories:

“Coaching has been a GREAT experience for me and at times so humbling that just sharing “what I know” or have experienced can help encourage and equip someone who is already so gifted like my student. We are a perfect match for sure! It’s almost like we were meant to be together and I can see this relationship continuing after our two years with YMI is done.”

Teri Chalker, YMI Coach
Student Ministry Confirmation Program Director and Wild 1’s Program Director at United Methodist Church of the Resurrection in Leawood, Kansas

Teri has a social work background, and she was matched with a second-career YMI student who was a former social worker. Their shared vocational background set them up for a relationship based on trust and success.
