What is the Steubenville Youth Conference, and where is it held?
Steubenville is a weekend-long youth conference held in Steubenville, Ohio at Franciscan University. It is an opportunity to gather with teens from all over the country in prayer and fun. The weekend includes upbeat music, inspirational talks, and powerful prayer experiences. Many former youth group members that have made lifelong commitments to the Catholic faith give credit to Steubenville for planting the first seeds of discipleship.
Who can attend a Steubenville Youth Conference?
The conference is open to teens who are entering grades 9, 10, 11, 12, or First year of college in the Fall of 2024 (ie, 12th grade graduates of the class of 2024).

That's a lot of money...are there scholarships available?
Finances have never and will never be the sole reason for a teen to not attend a youth group event. Just contact me privately if you have a financial concern, and we will work it out.
