We have been doing the YM Central Four-Year Curriculum for 4 months now and I can't believe the change in our teens. It is a phenominal program! Thank you for creating it. It has united our group so much and I'm amazed at how much they know when they are challenged with some of life's questions. GOD IS GOOD! Caroline, Youth Minister, Michigan

Ever feel that it is impossible for youth ministry to wed evangelization and catechesis?
Do you struggle with keeping your teens after their sophmore year?
Do you wish you could have a process that would help teens make a lifelong decision to follow Christ?

YM Central is excited to introduce its Crossroads Curriculum, a four year curriculum that includes 12 semesters and 144 meetings.

The Crossroads Curriculum offers a unique approach to forming a teen’s faith. Following the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the curriculum is a systematic and complete process that helps teens grow in their faith, no matter their level. The 12 semesters are divided into 6 units, with each unit consisting of 2 meetings. The first is an evangelistic Youth Group meeting directed to teens of all faiths. These sessions invite teens to make a commitment to Christ through the Church. The second is a Going Deeper meeting to help the teens develop catechetical roots to their faith. Using apologetics and sound Catholic philosophy, each Going Deeper meeting is a Bible study for teens to help them know and love the Catholic Faith.

While many themes are repeated throughout this curriculum, teens who participate in it for four years will never have to go through the same meeting twice!

If Christ is presented to young people as he really is, they experience him as an answer that is convincing and they can accept his message, even when it is demanding and bears the mark of the Cross. For this reason, in response to their enthusiasm, I did not hesitate to ask them to make a radical choice of faith and life and present them with a stupendous task: to become "morning watchmen" (cf. Is 21:11-12) at the dawn of the new millennium.
