You’ve been in the trenches, working with youth in parishes. You know the pitfalls, struggles, joys and blessings of parochial youth ministry. Your knowledge and experience can be the saving grace for youth ministers who are just starting out.

At Ablaze, you’re on a team working to transform the church. When youth ministers thrive, the ministry thrives.
Daily team prayer, Mass and Adoration are just some of the ways we ensure God comes first.
From getting to know the Ablaze team, to cheering on the underdogs in a 3-legged race your mission is to make friends and be yourself.
Youth ministry isn’t just free pizza and chubby bunny.
It’s being the person God created you to be.

We need your help to lead and guide the next generation of youth ministers. You’ll be advising your mentees and showing them the ropes.

You’ll be training and holding accountable the youth ministers under your care. This includes assessing their goals and providing formation to fit their needs.
Ablaze Ministries hosts larger events periodically. Your experience and knowledge planning and hosting events for youth will be invaluable to our efforts.
You can’t do it alone. We equip you with the knowledge and support to bring donors into mission with you. The next generation of youth depend on it.
