If you are flying in and want us to transport you from and back to the Pittsburgh Airport, please send your flight information. You should schedule your departure flight after 3:00 PM on January 28th from the Pittsburgh Airport, if you are using our transportation.

We are asking you to come prepared to share your ideas, dreams, hopes and concerns for working together as Orthodox Christian Youth Workers and Leaders.

Please read what the assembly has stated is the purpose of the Committee for Youth here. (Please read this page all the way to the bottom).

We will share what has been done to date. Most importantly we will provide time and opportunities for you to work with other Youth leaders in adding your voice and recommendations to this work, which in turn will be shared with the Bishops who form the Committee for Youth, so they may take into account your ideas and recommendations as they move forward.
Below are the links for the General Camping, Youth Worker and OCF Chaplains Conference for which we hope you will stay and invite all of your parish youth workers, camp staff and OCF chaplains.  Their Registration link is in the following announcement.

Details can be found here.

Conference Online Registration is now open here.
