Youth Ministry Core

The Youth Ministry Core is a team of dedicated adults who are interested in being pastoral leaders for youth in the parishes that United Catholic Youth Ministries (UCYM) serves. The Youth Ministry Core is intended to be a base of volunteer youth ministers as well as a network for continued faith and ministry formation for adults. People who join this group understand what it means to not leave the Church behind and, instead, take up the helm and lead the present into the future so that there is a future, which is in our youth. Our youth ministers are not only youth group volunteers, they are also dance group leaders, Leader-in-Training mentors, catechists, and more. 

All youth ministers that serve through UCYM are in total compliance with the child protection mandates of UCYM and of the Archdiocese of Chicago. 

If you are interested in being a youth minister, please contact James Holzhauer-Chuckas, ObSB at james@ucym.org or 847-719-9071 x1.
