Office of Youth & Young Adult Ministry, Diocese of Cleveland

Cleveland/Akron

The Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry and CYO in the Diocese of Cleveland is committed to forming youth and young adults and those who accompany them into missionary disciples of Jesus Christ. In Youth Ministry we do this by: Empowering young leaders; hosting dynamic youth events; supporting youth ministry teams; and training adults. In Young Adult Ministry we do this by: Supporting young adult ministry groups; hosting dynamic young adult events and programs; and by building faith based coalitions with young adult movements and young adult groups. CYO inspires young people to know God, to love God, and to serve God through athletics. We do this by: integrating faith into all aspects of CYO athletic programs; providing an organizational structure that enables CYO members to compete in a Christian environment; and by operating an athletic program that places children and their faith formation as the most important priority of CYO.
