YAOI

PCF’s new Young Adult Outreach Initiative – YAOI

Pax Christi is a faith based peace and justice organization rooted in a Catholic christian spirituality of Gospel nonviolence, but open to all people of faith who aspire to integrate their spirituality with action for justice and peace in our world. Pax Christi aspires to be inclusive, anti-racist, and multicultural.

We are looking for spirited young activists to help lead us into the future of our collective works for peace and justice in the Sunshine State. We need your help to identify the young women and men among us who have vision and illuminate the peace of Christ in our world and can benefit by joining our community of peacemakers. They may or may not identify with being Catholic, but they nonetheless are light to those around them and manifest a commitment to one or another issue impacting peace or social justice.

About this Outreach: We invite our members and supporters to help us identify such young adults over the coming weeks.  During the month of November, our Young Adult Outreach Team will make a personal outreach, hoping to arrange a one-on-one meeting over coffee or drink. Click on the links below to learn about the PROFILE of the persons we seek, as well as STRATEGIES and how to find them. Finally, we invite you to submit their names and contact information using the REFERRAL FORM.

Our team will coordinate a personal contact with the each individual submitted through the referral form. You also will have the option on the referral form to indicate if you would like to make the outreach contact personally, or prefer to have a member of our team do the outreach contact. We will provide you with guidelines and “Talking Points” on what you might say during the one-on-one personal invitation. Those guidelines will include information about an opportunity to invite the “candidate” to participate in an online “outreach webinar” where they can meet other young adults on a similar path, as well as learn from seasoned Pax Christi members who have walked the peacemaker’s journey over the long haul. There will be a choice of webinar for either Sunday, December 5 or Monday,  December 6, 2021 (7:30-8:30 PM.)

More information on the webinars will be available in early November. The webinars will be followed up with additional opportunities to grow in spirituality, personal growth, education and and action to make our world a better place.
