'Member Driven' Organization

Some organizations are the "I pay you, you do something for me" type of club. Not so with NACYML, as we are all about active member participation and inclusion.
NACYML members create the opportunity to network and share our gifts ~ and do what we as members discern is important and necessary for the field of Catholic Youth Ministry and for our membership as a whole. NACYML is and does what our members are and do.
Members nominate and assist in the discernment of the NACYML Leadership Team.
Members serve on the various committees that 'do the work of NACYML'.
The quarterly newsletter is comprised of articles written by the NACYML membership.
Members regularly submit information, articles, and resources for the 'members' section of the website.
Currently, there over 650 leaders in youth and campus ministry who are driving this movement forward.
