ECYD Programs & Projects
Applications are now open for high school ECYD members to apply to be ECYD missionaries in the summer of 2023. ECYD Mission Corps is an international Catholic missionary exchange program, where a high school student can volunteer their time during the summer for a period of 4 to 8 weeks, exclusively for the Church through ECYD. It is an opportunity to serve people through active apostolate, and to help other young people find the meaning of their lives in Christ. Please click below for the complete profile, requirements and explanation of the application process and deadlines. Deadline for applications is February 1st, 2023. This is an incredible opportunity for our young people to experience Christ and form and launch themselves as his apostles.
