Associates of St. Marguerite d'Youville are men and women from all walks of life who volunteer to share their time and talents to serve the poor and needy in the spirit of St. Marguerite d'Youville, Foundress of the Grey Nuns. They serve within their community and make a yearly commitment, renewable annually. Some current ministries include serving in healthcare, social and elderly services, childcare, parish ministry and liturgical music ministry.

Associates share a sense of spiritual kinship and community, which is nurtured through meetings with other Associates both in local chapter and regional meetings, and through fellowship. Often Associates incorporate works of charity that are already a part of their life, and do not take on new ministries. What changes is the awareness of how these works are part of a shared ministry with others who wish to carry on the spirit of St. Marguerite d'Youville.
