2025 Eparchy of OLOL of Los Angeles MYO Board Member/MYO Board Intern Application

Thank you for your interest in applying for a role on the MYO Board!

Please note that this application is not final. It will be reviewed by the Eparchial MYO Board. Additional information and a decision will be shared afterward. As part of the process, the board will also reach out to your parish priest and your parish MYO advisor for a recommendation.

The deadline to submit this form is September 26, 2025

Overview: The Eparchial MYO Board organizes four regional retreats each year, along with various formation opportunities, and supports local parish MYO groups with their needs. As the mission continues to grow, so do the responsibilities, more dedicated hands are needed to carry this mission forward.

Why Apply? Joining the Eparchial MYO Board is a unique opportunity to strengthen your relationship with Christ and His Church through service to your brothers and sisters in the MYO. It will also allow you to develop your current skills, discover new ones, and grow both personally and spiritually as a leader in your faith community.

What are you applying for? The Eparchial MYO Board is seeking adults who are willing to offer their time, skills, and dedication, either as MYO Board Members or as MYO Board Interns.

As a MYO Board Member: This role is a one-year commitment (October 2025 through the National MYO Conference). You will be expected to attend all regional retreats and Eparchial board meetings (virtually). You will play a key role in one or more of our committees, contributing to the planning and execution of events, whether in logistics, spirituality, or media. More detailed responsibilities will be shared if you are selected and approved. This role is renewable at the discretion of Eparchial Board Leadership.

As an MYO Board Intern: This role is a one-year commitment (October 2025 through the National MYO Conference). You will assist with specific tasks assigned by the board.
