MYAM is a ministry of the Marist Brothers Province of New Zealand . Traditionally Marist Brothers have worked among young people in education, but in recent years they have moved into other areas of ministry with young people.

MYAM was born out of the concern that Marist Brothers can so easily lose touch with young people after they leave college. MYAM's aim is to make and maintain contact with young people, namely young adults from Marist schools and the wider community.
