Welcome to AMAZE
The Association of Christian Youth
and Children's Workers
AMAZE is the first ever professional body for Christian youth and children's workers in the UK, recognising the key role they play and giving them protection, support and the benefits enjoyed by other established professions.
Watch out on for updates on the News page which tells you all about what is happening at AMAZE and any special offers that are available. Links from there will take you to all kinds of interesting pages related to Christian youth and children's work.

“We love our youthworker!” is a campaign to encourage churches to think about the way they employ a full time worker. It’s based on a set of seven promises that churches commit to follow. We believe that keeping full time workers positive, productive, and living balanced lives makes for great youthwork. And that’s an important step towards building God’s kingdom among young people. Churches who sign up to the Charter gain a set of benefits and can expect to attract the very best youth workers in the UK. The Charter is a joint project between Youthwork the Partnership and Amaze.
The campaign was pre-launched with a set of seven postcards at Youthwork the Conference in Southport and Eastbourne in November 2008, specifically to raise its profile among youth workers.
You can get involved by visiting the website www.weloveouryouthworker.org.uk. Here you can find out more about it, sign up and apply for accreditation.
We believe this campaign can make a huge difference to churches and youth workers, and so be of immense benefit to the young people we work with.
