You and your team can still participate in the Empower Training! We live-streamed from our Atlanta location and recorded those sessions just for you. Access to session video recordings will be available to registered parishes until November 30, 2022. So gather your core team at your parish for a full day or spread the training out over the course of a few meetings. Whatever works best for you and your team!
We’ve crafted a hybrid event package designed to equip you with the tools you need to lead your team through a training day at your own parish. You’ll tune in to the training content on our digital platform and then engage your team locally with times of prayer, discussion questions, practical exercises, and other elements designed to help your team prepare for the ministry year ahead – all provided with your registration!
The best part? The registration fee for virtual participation is per parish rather than per person. So no matter how many members you have on your team, you pay a flat rate of $350. This is an affordable, accessible option where you can get your whole team trained on a budget and schedule that works for you! What excuses do you have left?
Empower Core Member Trainings are one day trainings that take place at parish locations across the country. These events are a great way to provide your Core Members with affordable, quality training to kick off the year right. Many parishes come together for these one-day trainings providing all who attend with an opportunity for networking and a sense of community.
All Empowers next year will be held in August and September and take place from 8:30am-4:00pm. We’re in the midst of securing locations and would love to consider bringing Empower to your area!
We rely on the assistance of great youth ministers around the country to make these trainings happen. If you’re interested in bringing Empower to your area by being a hosting parish, read the information below and then submit an application.

Local Training. Big Impact.
Empower Core Member Trainings are back! We want to equip youth ministers and core members with the tools and techniques that their ministry needs to not just survive, but to thrive. With a focus on team building along with practical training for the current youth ministry landscape, these trainings are designed to set you up for success.
Our goal remains simple: to help parishes lead teens closer to Christ.
This year, we’re hosting a number of Empower Core Member Trainings at parishes around the country and we’re ensuring all parishes have the opportunity to participate by offering a virtual attendance option. So even if your parish is too far away to make the drive to attend in person, you still have access to quality training for your team. Our goal is to leave no parish behind and to train as many youth ministers and core members as possible in the skills it takes to start, build, and sustain a youth program.
