Mission: The Dominican youth programs make the connection between the Dominican tradition of preaching and the participants’ own call to preach, while also fulfilling the demand for leadership training and preaching opportunities. We Recognize the need to expand the reach of Dominican youth programs. We Believe that young people are searching for a way to connect spiritually and ethically to their broader world. We Know that the Dominican tradition of preaching speaks to our youth and helps them to fulfill their own search for God, community and a sustainable life. The Dominican Youth Movement USA (DYMUSA) brings together the various existing Dominican youth programs, unifying their support and promoting their collective social impact. It has created a network for our young people to further develop their own call to preach.

Target demographics: connect today’s youth and young adults to the Dominican tradition of preaching and the participant’s own call to preach.

Direct beneficiaries per year: 150 students connect with today's Dominicans to become tomorrow's Dominicans.
