Our Story
Partnership for Youth was established in 2002 to provide dynamic Catholic youth conferences that inspire and strengthen young people's faith. The journey began in 2001 when John Crudele, with the support of the Archbishop and Covenant Ministries, organized the first Steubenville North Youth Conference in St. Paul, MN. This successful event led to the formal founding of Partnership for Youth, which has since expanded to include the Steubenville Rochester and Steubenville On The Lake conferences, along with various one-day events and training sessions. Under the leadership of Executive Director Amy Cummings, the organization continues to grow, fostering a vibrant community of faith among youth.
