North East Kansas Rural Youth Council
THIS PAGE WILL BE UPDATED WITH 2025-2026 APPLICATION BY 1:00 PM 4.01.25!
NEKRYC gathers high school youth leaders from rural parishes of the Archdiocese of Kansas City for formation, leadership training, event planning, and community building – that they themselves might become disciples for and lead others closer to Christ and our Catholic faith. Since its first year in 2014, NEKRYC has continued to develop its purpose and schedule to deepen each member’s faith and inspire the faith of others. NEKRYC helps in planning and carrying out RYMO events such as the Summer / Fall tour and the Rural Catholic Youth Conference and also assists with activities sponsored by the youth office and Prairie Star Ranch such as MS Rallies and Family Days. NEKRYC members gather in person and via video conferences to plan, grow in discipleship, and pray for one another and all the youth of ArchKCK.
We thank the 2024-25 council for their beautiful service this year. These members are:
Charlie, Isaac, Leanne, Isabelle, Milani, Joel, Christian, Will, Jezzy, Anna, Clare, and Jesse.
THE APPLICATION for NEKRYC 2025-26 is HERE! and is due May 1, 2025.
Incoming Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors are eligible for NEKRYC. Preference is given to juniors and seniors so we can keep NEKRYC at an appropriate size for fostering discipleship.
If you have any questions about the application process, please contact ruralyouth@archkck.org
