The Catholic Youth Activities Organization (CYAO) provides support and guidelines for Cavalry Clubs that host activities for our students outside the classroom. The purpose of the Catholic Youth Activities Organization and the CYAO Board is to ensure that our youth programs function within the Catholic mission of our schools, including spiritual development, skills training, and the involvement of our children and families as a part of our faith community.
