The Young Adult Board of the Archdiocese of Louisville exists to promote the growth of pastoral ministry, evangelization efforts, and missionary discipleship formation with and among young adults throughout the Archdiocese.  It is convened through the Office of Youth and Young Adults and serves at the pleasure of the Archbishop to further the mission of the Church.

Candidates must be between the ages of 18-39 and in good standing with the Catholic Church as a practicing Catholic.  Young adults interested in serving on the Board can submit themselves for consideration with a recommendation from 1) a priest, deacon, or staff member in parish, college campus, or archdiocesan pastoral ministry, 2) a current member of the Young Adult Board, or 3) a leader of a Catholic young adult-serving apostolate operating in good standing within the Archdiocese of Louisville.

Board membership seeks to reflect the diversity of young adults in the Archdiocese including culture/ethnicity, geographic setting (rural, suburban, urban), state of life (single, married, clergy/religious), male and female, age, and representation from Catholic young adult-serving apostolates.  Important gifts and experience of ministry involvement, lived faith, reliability, collaboration, interpersonal skills, relationship-building, humility, charity, leadership, communication, etc., are also taken into consideration.
