Youth Ambassadors

The Pueri Cantores Youth Ambassadors Program celebrates exceptional young singers from across the country, offering them inspiring opportunities to share their gifts while representing the mission of Pueri Cantores. Ambassadors serve as youth leaders within their own communities and within the national community of Pueri Cantores—sharing their voices at major liturgical and musical events, collaborating with professional musicians, and igniting a love of sacred music among their peers.

Through this program, the American Federation Pueri Cantores uplifts the next generation of faithful, joyful, and accomplished young musicians—ensuring that the beauty of sacred music continues to flourish for years to come.
