2 SECTION 1: DISCERNMENT OVERVIEW Discernment for service on the Catholic Youth Leadership Team (CYLT) includes praying for openness to God s will, reflecting on personal gifts and desires, considering practical factors, and seeking insight through conversation with others then submitting for community consideration of needs, abilities, and fit among all applicants. During Winter Regionals those gathered will follow a process to discern youth and adults to nominate and support as potential members of the CYLT. Prior to the Winter Regionals, local parishes should identify one or two young people from your parish who exemplify 1 Timothy 4:12, exhibit responsible leadership, and who have gifts to contribute to the work of the CYLT in meaningful ways. Encourage those youth who are sophomores or juniors to submit an application to serve on the CYLT for the upcoming term. Also, identify adults with similar qualities who might serve. 1 TIMOTHY 4:12 Do not let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in your speech, conduct, love, faith and purity. SECTION 2: CYLT MEMBER QUALIFICATIONS Please reflect on the following qualifications prior to submitting an application: Is a practicing Catholic in good standing with his/her parish. Demonstrates leadership ability, preferably having participated in one or more summer diocesan youth leadership training (E.P.I.C or N.E.W.) and Youth Conventions. Possesses a willingness to serve along with a responsible attitude and performance record. Is willing and able to make a firm commitment to the duties of the CYLT. In addition, for YOUTH MEMBERS: o Is of senior high school age, entering into grades 11 or 12 for the next academic year. o Has family support and encouragement (i.e. transportation to pick-up and drop off points, some minor traveling & food expenses, and an understanding of the commitment their son/daughter has made to their parish and the diocese). o Is willing to sacrifice some extracurricular activities, when appropriate, for the sake of commitment to the leadership team. In addition, for ADULT MEMBERS: o Is effective and responsible in building mentoring relationships with teens. o Has already fulfilled all diocesan safe environment requirements. o Is able and willing to provide transportation for Youth Members to CYLT meetings and events in compliance with diocesan policies. Page1
3 SECTION 3: VALUES, RESPONSIBILITIES AND STRUCTURE OF CYLT All those involved should keep in mind the primary responsibilities of the CYLT and the threepronged commitment each member makes to grow in faith, to serve within his/her parish community and to fulfill the obligations of representing all the young people within their respective local vicariate parishes. Team Values: We are a Catholic community of disciples of Jesus Christ. We all respect the Bishop and show loyalty to his teachings as model leaders. We are all active members of our local Catholic faith communities. We all strive to follow 1 Timothy 4:12 in our daily lives. We all see adolescence as a part of a lifelong journey of faith. We all seek to call forth the gifts each person has for the life of the Church and the world. CYLT Primary Responsibilities: a. Serve as Christian leaders among their peers with a commitment to being a disciple of Jesus Christ in word and in deed. b. Work together with Diocesan staff to plan and execute the annual Journey Retreat, Middle School Rallies, Winter Regionals, and Catholic Youth Ministry Convention. c. Work closely with his/her parish Youth Ministry leader(s) and team(s) in exercising leadership for ministry on the parish level. CYLT Structure and Work: 1. The team typically consists of at least two, and no more than three, youth from each of the six vicariates in the diocese. Three or four adult members plus diocesan staff also serve on CYLT. 2. Teams serve a one-year term from July through June. Non-emergency, unexcused absence from CYLT events or meetings forfeits a member s service on the CYLT. 3. As part of annual diocesan pastoral planning, the diocesan Coordinator of Youth Ministry determines the scope and schedule for CYLT activities for the following term to support and extend the priorities of ministry with the youth of Maine. Typically, events center around the annual Journey Retreat, Middle School Rallies, Winter Regionals, and the Catholic Youth Ministry Convention. 4. Each spring parishes discern with youth who will be juniors and seniors in high school the following fall to nominate to serve on CYLT. Nominees must submit the diocesan Page2
4 application. Current CYLT Youth Members must complete a new application to be considered for a second term. 5. Candidates selected for CYLT service are acknowledged and commissioned at the annual Youth Ministry Convention. 6. New members to CYLT must participate in the summer diocesan leadership training. Members returning for a second year are encouraged to participate in the training to accelerate team development and deepen personal growth. 7. During the August working meeting, two Youth Members are discerned to assist the diocesan Coordinator of Youth Ministry in serving as primary facilitators for the term s team meetings. SECTION 4: CYLT LENGTH & TERMS OF COMMITMENT The length and terms of commitment (always subject to the discretion of the Diocesan Coordinator): Youth serve a one (1) year term (August 1 June 30). If a youth chooses recommitment, reapplication is required. Members are expected to attend all meetings and events on the published calendar unless excused by the Diocesan Coordinator of Youth and Young Adult Ministry, with at least 48 hours notice. Unexcused absences other than in the case of an emergency will forfeit membership in the CYLT. Transportation is arranged through the volunteer adult members. Parents must be willing to drive youth to and from transportation pick-up points for meetings/events. It is recommended that no youth under twenty-one (21) years of age drive themselves to or from diocesan events, for safety reasons. Diocesan liability insurance does not allow for a driver under the age of 21 to transport anyone else under the age of 21 or to drive during a diocesan gathering/event/meeting. It is best practice to avoid minors driving all together. Page3
5 SECTION 5: CYLT Calendar for All CYLT youth and adults are expected to reserve the following dates and plan on attending the five events and six meetings as part of their commitment to the CYLT (exceptions will be made for unforeseen situations/circumstances).
