“The Ministry Coordinator must always be qualified and well trained, as well as  have an excellent reputation. He or she facilitates the people, programming, and  resources of the parish or school community in a comprehensive ministry effort. 
The coordinator is primarily responsible for facilitating planning, administering  programs, developing a leadership system for adult and youth leaders  (recruitment, training, and support), and serving as an advocate and link for young  people to the faith community and wider community.” (Renewing the Vision: A  Framework for Catholic Youth Ministry, p. 41)
