About the NRVC Collaboration with NFCYM

NRVC has been a formal national collaborator with the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry (NFCYM) since 2005. This collaboration is because the NRVC values fostering a culture of vocations in a spirit of collaboration, joy, and hope to inspire and be inspired by the minds and hearts of the young Church. It is also one of the goals in the 2019-2023 NRVC Strategic Plan: Enhance collaborative efforts for engaging the culturally diverse young Church in discerning and impacting the future of religious life. 

Many NRVC members participate in the National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC) biennial conference. This conference is the single largest gathering of youth in the United States.  

Since 2013, NRVC has organized vocation teams to promote vocations to religious life at NCYC.  In 2023, the NRVC will be sponsoring the t-shirt swap in the interactive exhibit hall and is encouraging members to participate as exhibitors and volunteers.  

In 2012, NRVC selected NFCYM as the recipient of the prestigious Harvest Award for its collaborative efforts to promote a culture of vocations among teens.
