Miller Summer Youth Institute
About the Miller Institute
Founded in 1997, the Miller Summer Youth Institute has empowered next generation learners to explore the big questions: Who is God calling me to be? What is God calling me to do? How is God calling me to make a difference? For almost 30 years, the Institute has engaged high school students and undergraduates in holistic learning programs that integrate reflection and action. These programs encourage youth, young adults, and those transitioning from college to early career to practice intensive theological reflection and vocational discernment through participation in immersive learning communities. In these communities, and through these experiences, next generation learners don’t just talk about making a difference or changing the world, they do something about it alongside established leaders who are working for peace and justice every day.

MILLER INSTITUTE PROGRAMS
Our programs engage next generation learners, and those who serve them, by cultivating immersive learning communities, creating transformative learning experiences, and curating innovative learning content. We convene conversations among diverse learners and leaders. We connect learners and leaders with community partners working for peace, justice, and flourishing. And we help learners and leaders construct adaptive and innovative responses to pressing concerns in church and society.
