Since 1997 The Rev. Dr. Roy F. Miller and Mrs. Florence Lantz Miller Summer Youth Institute at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary has helped mature learners grapple with the questions, Who is God calling me to be? What is God calling me to do? Rooted in the Reformed tradition's conviction that all truth is God's truth, and that recognition of one's call arises through communal discernment, SYI welcomes students from all walks of life and from an array of theological perspectives to seek the truth in humility as grateful participants in God's liberative work of justice in the world.

We invite you to explore our initiatives and resources for youth empowerment, theological formation, and vocational discernment.
