8. How MYM Fits Into the Broader Church

MYM partners with dioceses, parishes, and national organizations to advance the field of ministry with youth and strengthen those who accompany young people.

Marathon Youth Ministry isn’t just about one parish or one program—it’s about strengthening the entire ecosystem of the Church.

We collaborate with dioceses, organizations, and networks to empower those who form, lead, and accompany young people.

Our Role in the Church

  • Advocating for Ministry Leaders: We elevate the professional and spiritual formation of those who serve, emphasizing their value and sustainability.

  • Collaborating with Dioceses: We partner with diocesan offices to offer training, leadership cohorts, and formation frameworks that multiply local impact.

  • Supporting the Next Generation: We work to ensure that every young person encounters Christ through the leadership of well-equipped, faith-filled adults.

Our Partners and Collaborations

MYM collaborates with organizations like the McGrath Institute for Church Life, TENx10 Collaboration, and the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry (NFCYM) to create national conversations and local impact.

A Ministry Within the Church, Not Apart From It

Our resources, coaching, and partnerships all align with Church teaching and the mission of evangelization. We see ourselves as collaborators in the Church’s call to accompany, form, and send disciples.
