SW MN Synod Lutheran Youth Organization (LYO)

The LYO Board is made up of 15 youth and 10 adults from our synod. They plan and coordinate the synod's Jr. and Sr. High Youth Gatherings and raise up the voice of youth on a synod level. Youth who serve on the LYO board are in grades 9-12 and are elected at the Sr. High Youth Gathering. Each conference has an adult representative on the LYO board that is elected or appointed by the conference. Youth Ministry Coordinator, Sarah Hausken advises the LYO board.
