Leadership cohort for catholic social justice leaders
BECOME THE CHANGE-MAKER YOUR COMMUNITY NEEDS
Holy week is a story about confrontation. Throughout his ministry and movement building, Jesus confronted Roman imperial domination and oppression through nonviolent resistance. This is the spiritual legacy and tradition our faith calls us to carry on.
This Lent, we are offering a 4-part training series that will offer Catholics and Christians the opportunity to develop community organizing skills through a framework of spiritual and theological formation. These trainings are geared for members and representatives of member institutions of CSPL who are looking to advance campaigns and social justice initiatives.
aPPLY BY JANUARY 31, 2025!
LEADERSHIP COHORT GOALS
Develop leadership skills through a three-fold approach of a community organizing practice, a spiritual practice, and theological formation grounded in popular education that leads to action.
Integrate tools and skills participants learn in each cohort session to their work at their parish or organization to advance campaigns or social justice initiatives.
Deepen relationship building and collaboration within the cohort.
