Advertising on Ladders Online

Ladders Online has a circulation of approximately 1,900 adult leaders involved in various capacities of youth ministry in the Diocese of Wilmington. It is published twice per month by the Office for Catholic Youth Ministry and includes news, resources, and links to upcoming events that effect how adults interact with young people.

There are now three ways to advertise on Ladders Online. The first is restricted to parishes, schools, or other diocesan institutions or organizations. The second is for organizations outside the auspices of the diocese who wish to generate interest for their events (camps, concerts, workshops, etc.) The third is for local companies and vendors who’d like to reach this particular audience.

To maintain the privacy of all Ladders Online subscribers, no advertiser will ever have direct access to a subscriber’s email address.

To maintain the integrity of the content in Ladders Online, all announcement and advertisements will be accessible only through a link. These announcements and ads will not appear in the body of each issue unless determined otherwise by CYM staff.
