But how can you know the ins and outs in YFC when there’s no one to tell you about it? Well, as the official media and communications arm of YFC-A. The Communications team is in charge of updating you with the latest happenings in the organization to make sure that you’ll be part of this awesome year! As a team, we aim to utilize the creativity of youth with the aid of technology to creatively deliver God’s message to young adults and to communicate ideas across the YFC-Ateneo community. Our team exists to capture stories of transformations in the lives of the youth to attract more people into having a more personal relationship with Christ. “How can they hear if the message is not proclaimed?” - Romans 10:14. With our God-given skills and through various media, we will surely deliver His message with the five other committees. Join this committee and let’s inspire and empower others!

In the Ateneo, the committee is responsible for coming up with ideas, activities, and events that promote and market YFC to the student body. More than doing public relations, the committee also aids different organizations, particularly those that are not religious in nature, to find the spirituality most appropriate to their work and their members. In the wider YFC family, Special Projects plays a crucial role in strengthening the involvement of YFC-A members to the bigger CFC-YFC community through active participation in sectoral and regional undertakings. Values of excellence and servant leadership are also shared to our YFC brothers and sisters outside the school through various activities that cater specifically to them.
