The Catholic Youth Organization enriches families and strengthens communities across southeast Michigan through youth programs that embrace the love and example of Jesus Christ. Since 1933, CYO has been helping metro Detroit’s young people live clean, wholesome lives, regardless of their religious faith, their racial or ethnic background, gender, and generational line. We believe that positive boys and girls grow into strong Christian leaders who build healthy communities. CYO strives to become a life-long partner with our community’s youth, giving them the resources that help them grow spiritually, enjoy their youth, and to become our community’s future leaders. After they’re grown, CYO encourages them to work with the next generation’s youth replicating this apostolic process over and over again throughout our community. That’s why we say, “CYO, a part of your life …all of your life!”
