Are you a young Catholic interested in doing something about the climate crisis?

Consider becoming a part of Common Home Corps!

Catholic Climate Covenant, in collaboration with faculty from Creighton University and Loyola University Chicago, is launching Common Home Corps, a new year-long leadership and spiritual formation program for young adults ages 18-35 looking to mobilize around climate action in their local communities.

The new program empowers young adults to catalyze climate action in their diocese by building on Pope Francis’s “culture of encounter.” Participants will learn to organize local Catholics, meet with their bishop and other Catholic leaders, and advocate for climate action that helps us live the Church’s mission: caring for our common home by enacting the Vatican’s Laudato Si’ Action Platform with a focus on real, measurable climate progress.

Interested but have questions? We have answers!

U.S. based young adults (18-35) and those who work with young adults are invited to learn more about the Common Home Corps program by attending an info session on:


Selected Common Home Corps participants will:

  • Attend an in-person training at Loyola University Chicago from June 15-June 19 2023.
  • Receive training in Catholic social teaching, the Vatican’s Laudato Si’ Action Platform, climate science, community organizing, and climate advocacy.
  • Become a leader working 5-10 hours per month organizing local Catholics to catalyze diocesan ecological conversion and climate action (including net zero carbon).
  • Be funded: Selected and trained leaders will receive a $3,000 annual stipend.
