World Youth Day 2027 - South Korea

World Youth Day (WYD) is a global gathering of young people from around the world who come together for a powerful experience of faith, community, and cultural exchange. Held every few years in a different international city and led by the Pope, WYD invites participants into prayer, reflection, and celebration through large-scale liturgies, music, and shared experiences with pilgrims from diverse backgrounds. More than just an event, it is a pilgrimage that fosters connection across cultures, deepens spiritual identity, and inspires young people to live out their values with greater purpose, solidarity, and hope. 

All USF students are welcome to apply to join us for this immersion to South Korea in Summer 2027. Please note that you do not have to be Catholic or religious in any way to participate. We do, however, ask for you to enter this experience with an open mind and enter with a sense of respect for the traditions you may see and experience.
