More adult volunteers needed to assist at the National Catholic Youth Conference
Kevin McNulty gets excited as he talks about the impact of volunteering at an event where 23,000 Catholic youths from across the country celebrate their faith. Recalling the National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC) in Indianapolis in 2011, McNulty notes, “What was really neat was watching the adults who were volunteering for the first time. They may have signed up for one or two shifts, but they just kept coming back for more shifts.” Adults will have another opportunity to volunteer at NCYC when it returns to Indianapolis on Nov. 21-23.
