Welcome
The Sophia Network exists to connect women in youth work and ministry to access training, develop skills and share wisdom.
We focus our energy in four areas: partnership, relationships, voice and training. Find out more about what we do here. Membership is free.
The Sophia Network is for all female youth and children's workers, volunteer and employed, full time, part time or spare time. You are also very welcome to join if you are a woman in church leadership or other form of ministry and think the network may be useful to you.
