Our outreach programs
offer teenagers a threefold mission: To build healthy peer
relationships, to experience Franciscan spirituality and to
reach out to those in need.

of service to the poor and sick of the Hudson Valley. (Sponsored

The DDA Leadership
Training Program incorporates the
dynamics of Catholic Youth Evangelization: Witness,
Outreach, Proclamation, Conversion, and Call to Discipleship.
Offered twice yearly, it teaches leadership skills in an
innovative way.
G.I.F.T. (Growing in Faith Together) is a mirror of our DDA
Leadership Training
Program. This retreat is offered to help build peer ministers
for high schools,
parishes and youth groups.
The TAC is composed of a few mature and responsible teens representing each parish affiliated with C.Y.F.M.. TAC serves as a forum for youth from different parishes to build community amoung their parishes, share ideas, and give their input for C.Y.F.M. as a whole. T.A.C. also runs several programs every year, the biggest of which are the Dance Marathon and the Living Stations of the Cross.
God’s TYM is a parish-based youth ministry program geared for
Catholic High School aged teenagers. The program includes
catechesis, service, prayer and liturgy, and social
opportunities. C.Y.F.M. provides training sessions and support for
parish youth ministers and adult coordinators.
