SYYAM seeks to dispel a "keeper of the aquarium" mentality, calling forth its member to become "fishers of men." By this, it isn't abnormal to see participation from divers parishes and even non-Catholics.

Catholic youth not registered as St. Jude parishioners interested in being a member or participating in SYYAM should understand the following:

1. Before attending, unregistered youth's parents should read and be familiar with the SYYAM Handbook.
2. Before attending, please fill out and submit the necessary forms to the CYYAM or the office.
3. Unregistered youth are not required to be registered at St. Jude Catholic Church Kapolei to be a member or participate in SYYAM.
4. Attendance of SYYAM events is not an opportunity to invite members of SYYAM to come to another ministry event outside of the parish unless passed through the SHWAY CORPS.
