Why Should I Join APYM?

Networking

Meet the other professionals in your field. Share best practices and resources. Consider collaboration.  Find trusted friends.

Mentorship

Youth Ministry is no easy profession. APYM is here to support  you and help you evade burn out. New Youth Ministers are offered a "seasoned" youth ministry mentor- free with APYM membership.
​

Professional Development

APYM offers 4 gatherings a year in order to provide professional development through pastoral, intellectual, human, and spiritual formation.

Prayer

Each APYM gathering offers an opportunity to re-center on the reason why you joined ministry in the first place: Christ. In community with your fellow youth ministers, bring to the Lord your parish, your young people, your struggles and joys in ministry.

Catholic Center

APYM works closely with the Division of Youth and Young Adult Ministry (DYYAM), the diocesan office located at the Catholic Center.
