The NRVC is promoting vocations at NCYC!

The National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC) is a biennial three-day experience of prayer, community, evangelization, catechesis, and service, sponsored by the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry (NFCYM). Over 10,000 high school teens, parents, and youth ministers from across the country will gather November 20-22, 2025, around the theme, I Am | Yo Soy. NCYC takes place at the Indiana Convention Center and Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. All participating adults must adhere to a code of conduct and complete and be current in either their home diocese’s Safe Environment program, Praesidium, or the Archdiocese of Indianapolis’ program. There are no exceptions.

How can we participate?

In collaboration with NFCYM, the NRVC invites you to be part of this celebration of the Catholic faith and to promote vocations to religious life. There are three ways to participate in NCYC:

Participate as a volunteer with the NRVC in the t-shirt swap area in the Interactive Exhibit Hall. We are building upon the success of the tshirt swap in 2023. NRVC members are needed to volunteer to help create a welcoming space that sparks conversation about sweatshops, overconsumption, accumulation, the vow of poverty, and vocation discernment. Bring along new/gently used t-shirts with inspiring quotes, community logos, etc. for teens to take home by swapping out one that they brought.

Because volunteers do not pay a registration fee, you must volunteer for at least two shifts daily, one at the tshirt swap and the other in the various opportunities available in the exhibit hall.

You may register as an individual or register with members of your religious institute; there is no minimum or maximum number of volunteers you can register, but everyone must have proof of current Safe Environment training. Travel, meals, parking, and accommodations are not included, you must make these reservations on your own.

Email debbiesscm@nrvc.net the names and email addresses of those who want to volunteer so you can be contacted with additional instructions about volunteer registration to signify you are an NRVC volunteer.
Attend as an adult chaperone with high schools, parishes, and dioceses. NCYC registration is $375 per person, however, the group you attend with may have additional fees for meals, travel, and accommodations.
Exhibits are SOLD OUT. Register for an information exhibit booth in the interactive exhibit hall (IEH) to promote your religious congregation. Registration is $800 for a 10 x 10 space and includes 4 exhibit credentials. Travel, meals, parking, and accommodations are not included, you must make these reservations on your own. NFCYM suggests that all exhibitors carry a minimum of $500,000 in liability insurance coverage. More information about exhibits can be found here.
