It provides a structured platform through which young Catholics can deepen their faith, develop strong moral character, build leadership capacity, and participate actively in service to God, the Church, and society.

The motto “Character and Service” expresses the two fundamental ideals of the YSM. Members are encouraged to develop good Christian character while putting their talents, time, and abilities at the service of God and others.
Admission into the YSM is open to boys and girls between the ages of 14 and 25 years. Membership is largely drawn from the children of the Knights and Ladies of St. Mulumba. However, other young people whose parents are Catholics may also be admitted.
