The Office for Campus and Young Adult Ministry (CYAM) of the Diocese of Brownsville works with campus ministers, diocesan and parish leaders, and other ministry volunteers to connect and empower young adults to live as Disciples of Christ. The following goals serve as foundation for the diocesan Office for Campus and Young Adult Ministry:
1. Connect young adults to God in the mystery of the Church
2. Connect young adults to the Church as a community of worship and service
3. Connect young adults to the mission of the Church in the world
4. Connect young adults to deeper relationships through family, friends, school and work
