Mission:

The Hispanic Coordinator of Young Adult Outreach for the Archdiocese of New York will connect Catholic Hispanic young adults to resources, events, and likeminded peers living in the archdiocese. In order to reach out to Hispanic young adults in the Archdiocese of New York, the coordinator will serve as a highly visible resource in assisting and supporting area leaders in identifying needs and developing new initiatives.  The coordinator will serve as an initial contact for Hispanic young adults, guiding them as they discover the various ministries and opportunities available in the archdiocese. The coordinator will seek first to foster fellowship and create community, while assisting in creating circumstances for building relationships and friendships among Hispanic Catholic young adults.  In addition, with a powerful communications infrastructure at his or her disposal—including thousands of contacts- the coordinator will utilize powerful and well branded marketing and social networking tools in order to attract young adults seeking Catholic resources.  By attending events, organizing meetings, and networking, the Coordinator will become a leader in the Catholic community of New York, specifically to the Hispanic young adults and priests in the Archdiocese. The coordinator will be very involved in the imminent growth and expansion of this program and its outreach.
