Resound is a unique training and formation experience designed for Catholic musicians, worship leaders, and songwriters who desire to grow spiritually, develop their gifts, and lead others into a deeper encounter with Jesus Christ.
This event is open to all rising juniors and seniors, together with their adult chaperones—no Life Teen parish affiliation required.
At the Life Teen Leadership Conference, teens will experience:
In addition, teens will experience:
LTLC forms teens who do more than participate in your ministry–they help transform it. This experience shapes young leaders who influence their parishes, schools, and communities through faith, integrity, and service.
At LTLC, teens receive formation in communication, mentorship, prayer, and mission while being personally accompanied as disciples of Christ. They return home prepared to lead peers well, serve their parish faithfully, and live their faith with confidence and purpose.
Participants will receive a Certificate of Catholic Leadership Formation recognizing their completion of structured leadership training and their commissioning to serve in their parish and community. This certificate may be used for college applications, resumes, and leadership portfolios as a tangible sign of their formation.
If you want teens who lead in faith at Mass, in ministry, in school, and beyond, bring them where leaders are formed

In order to make this experience the best one possible for your teens, we recommend a maximum of 16 teens, 8 of each gender. But you know your parish and your teens best, so we ultimately leave that decision up to you! Remember, for up to every 8 male teens, you must have at least 1 male chaperone and for up to every 8 female teens, you must have at least 1 female chaperone. The minimum group size required is at least 3 people, made up of 1 chaperone with 2 teens (all of the same gender).
If you need to add or drop spots to your registration before May 15th please use this Add/Drop Form to make those requests. After May 15, you can only make substitutions of the same gender and age category (chaperone or youth) due to housing arrangements. If you have questions regarding this, please contact our Events Team at events@lifeteen.com.
Due to limited dorm space, we are not usually able to provide private rooms for chaperones. If you are the only chaperone of your gender attending from your parish, you might be paired with a chaperone of the same gender from another group.
Yes, you have two options to get your teen registered for the conference. You can form and register a small group comprised of yourself, your teen, and some of his or her friends. In that case you would be the group leader. We require a minimum group size of 3 and all groups must comply with the chaperone requirements. The other option is to find out if there is a parish in your area attending the conference and then you can contact the youth minister at that parish to see if they’d be willing to take your teen as a part of their group. Contact our Events Team at events@lifeteen.com to see if any groups from your area are registered.
Life Teen does not provide transportation for the conference.
We would love for you to concelebrate! We ask that you please bring your own vestments (alb & stole). And be sure to submit your Letter of Good Standing ahead of time.
Youth participants must be rising juniors or seniors. Teens can only attend LTLC once. The event is not intended for teens to attend not multiple years. All chaperones must be 21 years of age or older. All participants must be registered as part of a group with a group leader taking responsibility for adhering to the payment, cancellation, paperwork, and event policies.
We do have a very limited amount of scholarships available for teens to attend LTLC. If you have a teen in great financial need, please download this scholarship application and submit it.
The food served at the conference is cafeteria-style. If you or anyone in your group has a food allergy we need to be aware of, please let us know. There is a section on the participant liability form that allows you to share this information with us. In order for allergies to be accommodated by the college, that information must be submitted via the participant liability form no later than May 15. We always do our very best to accommodate your needs; however, it never hurts to bring some snacks just in case.
Kansas is warm and often humid during the summer. It’s hot during the day and pleasant at night and in the mornings. Dress to be casual and comfortable. The main room/breakout rooms can get chilly so bring a sweater or sweatshirt. While the main room is air conditioned, some dorm rooms are not.
There is internet available by ethernet cord in each dorm room and wireless in the student center. Internet is not available in the main room.
Yes, the Life Teen Store will have lots of great product for you to purchase!
We will have very basic first aid (band aids, Tylenol, Tums, etc.) For any major needs, participants will need to go to the local urgent care or hospital. We will have a nurse on site to help during programming hours. The group leader should bring first aid supplies as well.
Yes, we will have a digital audio download of all keynote and most breakout talks for sale at the conference. The digital download will not contain music that is played at the conference. Group leaders can purchase the download on site. Cost is $60.
