Since our founding, Youth With a Mission has helped hundreds of thousands of youth across the world step confidently into the plan God had for their lives. From missioning in remote locations to fulfilling the Great Commission in their hometowns, every individual who's taken part in a YWAM program has learned to harness their passion for missions and use it effectively across the nations.
YWAM San Diego/Baja's Discipleship Training School is an immersive missions training experience accredited by the University of the Nations. Our students get to deepen their faith and spread the love of Jesus to others all in one.
During the lecture phase, they spend time on campus preparing for a successful life in missions. Then, they take off for 8 weeks of international outreach in small-group teams of like-minded mission leaders.
Our YWAM location, located just across the U.S./Mexico border in Tijuana, Baja California, is a beautiful location to get to Know God Better and learn to Make Him Known across the nations. Additionally, there are YWAM bases across the country, and across the world, so you can learn to share God's story no matter where you go.

Where is YWAM San Diego/Baja?
We get it - our name can be a little misleading. YWAM San Diego/Baja is broken up into three distinct locations, 2 of which are our DTS campuses open to students. Our YWAM locations include:
Ensenada Campus
Tucked on the sprawling coast of Baja California, Mexico, our Ensenada campus is a short hour and a half-drive from the U.S. border. Within walking distance of the beach and local restaurants, shops, and markets, it's a vibrant community hot spot as well as a home for our DTS students.
Our campus currently offers 200 beds in dormitory-style housing for staff, volunteers, students, and those participating in a Homes of Hope build or Missions Adventure. However, we are working diligently to expand our housing to welcome even more budding disciples each session.
Besides DTS, this location hosts a variety of YWAM conferences. We also welcome local concerts and fun community events related to our students' passions, such as skateboard competitions.
We love Ensenada and we think you will too!
San Antonio Del Mar Campus
Our flagship location in San Antonio Del Mar overlooks the Pacific Ocean from the Baja California coast. Only 20 minutes from the U.S./Mexico border, this campus is nestled between Tijuana and Rosarito, so you'll be fully immersed in the local cultures.
Alongside DTS, this campus also hosts University of the Nations training schools and YWAM ministry projects such as Homes of Hope and Mission Adventures. We're in the process of major reservations to this campus, bringing the number of beds from 200 to 800.
San Diego, California, Headquarters
San Diego is in our name because it's the heart of our operations. Our offices are located here, handling all of the behind-the-scenes tasks that get our base camps ready for you to enjoy and thrive at.
