The Mar Thoma Yuvajana Sakhyam was organized with a view that all the young people in the Church should accept Jesus Christ as their saviour and Lord, and bear witness to His saving power. It was organized in 1933 by a resolution of the Sabha Prathinidhi Mandalam. Branches of the Sakhyam were set up in the Parishes with a four-fold program of worship, study, witness and service.

The Yuvajana Sakhyam of St Thomas Marthoma Church of Chicago is an active organization with members in the age group 12 to 45.  We take pride in catering to both English and Malayalam speaking members of the Church. Our Yuvajana Sakhyam is blessed with a group of vibrant members from a broad age spectrum and diverse backgrounds. This has uniquely enabled our Sakhyham to bring the different Church organizations together to work towards common goals in our Christian ministry.  The Sakyam is actively engaged in outreach ministries including serving food, distributing care packages, and providing financial support to our brothers and sisters in need. Sakhyam members meet frequently for Bible studies, discussions and fellowship that enable them to grow in their walk with Christ.
