Youth need the church—and the church needs youth. St. James youth bring passion and leadership to our community. St. James Church asks families to support youth ministries.

In two ways:

• Encourage your children to attend Sunday School and church regularly.
• Volunteer to assist with ACYO or special youth projects. Contact Father Yeghishe to volunteer.

Youth receive the following benefits:

• Being part of a group can help young people develop important personal and interpersonal skills.
• Help young people gain self-confidence and self-esteem.
• Help reduce the risk of becoming involved in unsafe activities, such as using drugs and alcohol.
• St. James Youth organizations offer opportunities for leadership and creativity that young people might not get otherwise.
