LASALLIAN YOUTH MINISTERS

Lasallian Youth Ministers are part-time-paid employees of the District and are responsible for animating the faith development of young people in our Lasallian tradition.

Their ministry is predominantly within their ‘base school’ but approximately 20% of their time is spent assisting in schools without a Lasallian Youth Minister or on a team initiative.

Their role involves coordinating the Lasallian Youth Leaders (LYL’s) Program, school retreats and reflection days, and creating new and innovative experiences of faith, service and community for young people.

They have a responsibility to engage and connect Lasallian Volunteers (former students) to assist in the ‘youth ministry life’ of their base school when possible.
