The Augustinian Youth Ministry (AYM) is the largest student organization at Providence Catholic with more than 150 members.

Their service projects benefit the community at large as well as the high school.

AYM members are also required to complete 10 hours of service to their parish or community. “We are very proud of these students who strive for academic excellence and service while being leaders among their peers,” said AYM Moderator Jennifer Williams. “They truly showcase our Augustinian core values of truth, unity, and love.”
