SU Australia started providing formal training for youth and ministry workers in 1987, and for many years the course program had been known as YMIS (Youth Ministry Internship Scheme). Over more than 30 years we have gained a solid reputation for providing an up-to-date training experience for people working with young people or keen to enter this exciting industry.
