Are scholarships available?
The diocese does have a small annual scholarship fund. It is our goal that no young person will be kept away from an event because of financial issues. The diocesan scholarship fund is intended to fill in the amount that can't be covered by the family and congregation. Our suggested formula is that family cover a third of the cost, the congregation cover a third and the diocese a third. Full instructions are included with the scholarship form which can be downloaded HERE
Who do I talk to about...?
Camp, Happening, your youth group at church. Or maybe you have an idea or would like to help. More often than not the best place to start is with the Youth Missioner. I can help you myself or I'll know where to go to get your answer. Please feel free to contact me about anything! All my contact info is just to the right.
