Member Acceptance
It is the ECYD Director who admits adolescents to join ECYD by making the ECYD pledge of friendship with Christ. ECYD Coordinators and point persons may receive delegation from their local regnum Christi director or from the ECYD Department for North America.
Unlike RC there is no NA ecyd registry given the fact that ecyd members are minors. However, each ecyd section should maintain a database of its own ecyd members. Sections commonly use microseoft excel Microsoft access or other similar programs.
