Q1. WHAT IS YOUR JOB TITLE?

Program Coordinator

Q2. WHAT ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES?

As a Program Coordinator, I collaborate with a team to efficiently plan, prepare, and host programs, ensuring everything stays on track by creating timelines, developing materials, and managing logistics. I support marketing and communication strategies, handle inquiries and contractors, and maintain registration systems, including invoices and payments. I also coordinate speaker resources and post-program activities like surveys and thank you materials while tracking key metrics to provide regular updates and comprehensive reports for continuous improvement.

Q3. WHY DO YOU WORK FOR NFCYM?

I joined NFCYM in 2018. As a young person, I served parishes on the Mexican border since 2005, and this is where I found my vocation to serve God’s people by accompanying and connecting them to the greater Church. Through its mission, NFCYM has given me the privilege of connecting and accompanying His people from across the nation.

Q4. Who accompanied you as a young person?

So many amazing people.

Q5. WHAT ARE YOUR STRENGTHS?

My top five Clifton Strengths are: Developer, Positivity, Belief, Empathy, and Adaptability.

What does that mean? My top strengths highlight my nurturing and supportive nature, driven by core values and an optimistic outlook.

As a Developer, I excel at recognizing and cultivating potential in others, while my Positivity inspires and energizes those around me. My Belief keeps me grounded and purpose-driven, and my Empathy enables deep, meaningful connections. Finally, my Adaptability ensures I remain flexible and resilient in the face of change.

"NFCYM has accompanied me in reaching out to like minded professionals to better provide service (ministry) to adolescents. NFCYM has allowed me to network and grow professionally.

'Youth as Protagonists' has been essential to Pastoral Juvenil Hispana in the Diocese of Austin."

"The various resources have helped me keep our program exciting and vibrant. NFCYM has provided me with shared information via webinars, workshops, conferences, outreach, and opportunities that are very informative to help make my ministry successful.

NFCYM is an open forum for me to seek material, guidance and support in keeping the youth ministry program successful."
