We encourage all parents to be involved in JYM activities. Following are general ideas for getting involved and a list of annual activities:

Catechist / Assistant for Younger Adolescents – JYM Adult Leadership Team
The JYM catechist / assistant serves on the Gathering Team for one or more of the HI-life Gatherings and attends the preparation meeting to prepare for teaching / facilitating / assisting at the Gathering. The JYM catechist also helps prepare and lead activities for middle school youth at one or more Sunday JYM sessions.

Organize and lead service projects
We are hopeful that parishioners are inspired to act on what they learn in the HI-life Gatherings by participating in follow-up service activities. The person in this leadership role is responsible for handling the details of the service activity (arrange dates/times, coordinate with local service agencies, advertise to the parish through bulletin announcements and flyers, be the main contact person for the service activity).

Chaperone youth activities
Chaperones are needed for youth activities both at Holy Infant and at off-site locations. Typical duties of chaperones include ensuring the safety of the youth and encouraging appropriate behavior. Chaperones must be members of the parish for at least 6 months, at least 23 years of age, and must complete the Diocese of Raleigh Application for Volunteers form, (criminal background check). Please submit completed forms to the Holy Infant parish office.
