Hosted by the Catholic Youth Team of Christchurch, New Zealand, through the Catholic Youth Ministry Portal we hope to provide formation, training and resources to support those that are involved in youth ministry and to enable effective and sustainable youth ministry programmes in our communities.

We believe that equipping youth leaders with proper training, formation and resources allows them to work to a professional standard and provide spaces where it is healthy and safe for our rangatahi (youth). We want to work with your passion for the heart of the ministry and enable you to feel confident in leading others to become discipes of Jesus Christ. We want to inspire and provide you with the necessary tools to work in youth ministry by allowing you to work in best practice, effective strategies and give you access to spiritual food for your journey with our young people.

As the foundation of any ministry work in God’s vineyard, we know that we can help others in their spiritual life only if we continue to take measures to allow our spiritual life to be strengthened!
