YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULT PROGRAMS
In 1996, CCHD began a focused effort to reach out to Catholic teens and young adults in their 20's and 30's. The programs outlined on this page are an outgrowth of CCHD's investment in young people - calling forth new leadership in the struggle against the cycle of poverty in the United States and encouraging young Catholics to live out their faith through participation in their communities.
THE CARDINAL BERNADIN NEW LEADERSHIP AWARD
Celebrate young faith-filled Catholics, ages 18-30 yrs., who have demonstrated leadership in addressing the causes of poverty and injustice in the United States!
Past Winners
MULTI MEDIA YOUTH ARTS CONTEST
The cycle of poverty in the U.S. can be broken... and you can do something to help. Use your artistic talent to raise awareness about poverty and to illustrate how people living in poverty are working together with their churches and communities to create lasting, long-term solutions.
Contact your CCHD diocesan director to find out if the diocese is participating in the contest and surf our website to learn more about CCHD and its approach to eliminating poverty in the United States. The deadline for national entries is March 31.
INTERNSHIPS
Internships are available for Catholic young adults, ages 18-30, who are interested in gaining experience working with and on behalf of those living in poverty.
