EDSD Youth Collaborative is a collective of San Diego area parishes invested in youth ministry. We use our common resources to serve youth and family throughout the diocese. We meet quarterly to plan, collaborate, share events and resources, and provide support to those involved in youth ministry. Collaborative events include mission trips, convention, youth retreats, service opportunities, and various other activities including Nightwatch, a Pentecost bonfire, and EYE.
If you are interested in joining the Youth Collaborative and are currently involved in youth ministry, you are welcome to join us. To be added to the mailing list, or for more information about the Youth Collaborative, please contact Charlette Preslar.
