Our Projects

In the bid to bring about change in the CYON of St Gerald and to rebuild the broken image of our youths; we the St Gerald CYON have carefully introduced the following project to drive this change:

1.   PROJECT CHANGE

VISION: “…to INSPIRE, EMPOWER, EQUIP and GROW youths into leaders who will make a change in the church and society”

YOUTH CONFERENCE: Under the umbrella of the PROJECT CHANGE, the Youth Conference is initiated to be an annual/yearly program which would be organized by the youths of St. Gerald Church. The objective of the Youth Conference is to educate, empower, and transform lives especially the young people among us and that of our environs. This is a simple reason we spread our tentacles to other parishes, schools, tutorial centers like ADAMS COLLEGE and a host of others.

To ensure the continuity of this Youth Conference we therefore appeal to our parishioners, individuals, and corporate bodies to sponsor this event. Because we believe in change and transformation we strongly believe that with your support or sponsorships in terms of finance, and the conference materials, we can achieve this dream that has kept us going.

If you are really passionate in seeing young people live better lives and fulfill their God given dreams then you can kindly reach us via these lines: 08115874949, 07015145943, 08088733350, and 08104923832. Your support would be highly appreciated!
