STREAM is a youth theology institute initiated in 2016 as a long-term investment of the University in fostering theological inquiry and vocational exploration among an emerging generation of visionary young leaders who will make profound contributions in congregations and communities. The program, designed for rising high school juniors and seniors, uses a hands-on interdisciplinary approach to explore the texts, theologies, and traditions of their faith and the intersections of faith with self-identity, vocation, heritage, advocacy, community, and creation. STREAM includes a weeklong residential program with follow up events for youth and contextual associates from their local congregations. Initial funding for STREAM was provided by the Lilly Endowment, Inc.
