First Things in Youth and Young Adult Ministry

OYYA Virtual Formation Program Is Here!

Be part of our formation program - First Things!  This will be a six-session online formation program for those who are looking to renew, refresh, or re-evaluate their youth ministry or young adult ministry efforts. We are offering two simultaneous training programs: one for youth ministry leaders and one for young adult ministry leaders. Those who are new to ministry with youth or young adults will especially benefit from this training.  Whether you're a volunteer or paid staff, this training provides guidance, direction, and best practices for those in leadership roles. Think of it as basic training in comprehensive ministry.

Participants will:

• Be part of an "Online Cohort" with other peers from the Diocese of Sacramento.
• Receive a complementary 1 year NFCYM Associate membership that will enable them to access all the materials for the 3 month Virtual Formation component on the NFCYM website.
• Participate in one of the four virtual cohorts and meet with other ministers passionate to serve our youth and young adults.
• Cost is $50/participant.  Must be 18 years or older. Registration fee Includes all materials and access to the Mandatory Virtual Cohort Sessions.
