The Australian Catholic Youth Festival (ACYF or the Festival) is a national gathering hosted in Melbourne that will bring together thousands of young Catholics from across Australia to offer a vibrant experience of worship, inspiring speakers, interactive workshops, and meaningful community connections. It serves as a beacon of hope, culminating our Jubilee Year celebrations by empowering young people to encounter Christ and give witness to the hope that does not disappoint – Jesus Christ.

To bring this vision to life, a dedicated workforce will be assembled to support various aspects of the festival, including logistics, hospitality, liturgy, and pastoral care. Your participation, through the offering of your time and talents to the Festival in Leadership role, would be invaluable in creating a welcoming and enriching environment for our youth.

There are four specific areas that will be staffed during the festival:

  • Plenary: Main stage events, concerts,
  • Program: Workshops.
  • Encounter: Panels, installations, and meaningful experiences focused on connection and formation.
  • Event Team: Welcome pilgrims, manage logistics, assist with set-up and pack-down.
