Every summer since its conception in 1972, Youth Hostel Ministry (YHM) has sent teams of Wheaton College students to share and ministry to the European traveling community. Grouped into three categories, the students comprise travelling, stationary, and combination teams. Stationary teams serve with the staff of Christian youth hostels in Amsterdam doing reception work, cooking, servicing the snack bar, and leading Bible studies. Other teams of three to five people travel through Europe by train, sleeping in youth hostels, and taking opportunities to share the Gospel with fellow travelers. The final groups spend half the summer travelling and half the summer working at hostels in either Bergen, Norway or Ligonde, Spain.

YHM is a unique ministry sponsored by the Office of Christian Outreach at Wheaton College. If you have any questions or would be interested in more information about our programs, please feel free to call or email us at oco@wheaton.edu
