As you research and plan events and programs, you’ll gain valuable experience in logistical planning and organisation, while also deepening your understanding of Catholic teachings and practices. And as you mentor other young people, you’ll have the opportunity to pass on what you’ve learned and help others grow in their own faith and ministry skills. But above all, you’ll be part of creating a safe environment where young people can grow in their faith and connect with others who share their values. So, if you’re ready to make a difference in the lives of young people and grow in your own faith journey, this program is the perfect fit for you!
On campus students will have the opportunity to put their learning into action with a practicum partnership with 24:7 Youth Ministry that includes working with a team to lead school retreat programs and collaborating with parish-based youth groups.
