What is the Lutheran Youth Organization Convention?
The Eight Triennial Convention of the Lutheran Youth Organization (LYO) will be held in Hattiesburg, MS, July 26-29, 2009 after the Gathering. This convention is a gathering of the elected youth delegates from across all ELCA synods that will make decisions and elect new leaders for the LYO. Embraced by a network of adult advisors from across the ELCA, the LYO Convention is a time for community learning and sharing about issues of church and society that matter most to youth who are already leaders in the ELCA. The location for the LYO Convention is to be announced. There is no registration fee for youth delegates and their adult advisors. There will be a registration fee for Convention visitors.
