Share in circles of 18-35 yr olds (so maybe not on Facebook?) Maybe even talk to people to invite them personally to apply! Being together in person can grow our Good Green News🌳APPLICATION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO JULY 26
Since its founding, the ELCA has used social teaching documents as tools for speaking in and to society, and with each other about society. As we live into our sacred responsibility to care for and keep God’s creation for future generations, ELCA social teaching can strengthen our impact from the inter-personal to communal and global levels.
The young adult focused ELCA Fall Climate Summit is an opportunity for young adults(18-35 years old) from a range of identities and experiences to gather and deepen their advocacy, storytelling and organizing. Sponsored by the ELCA Service & Justice team, 25 young adults from across the country will gather in Chicago, Illinois from October 20-22, 2023, to engage with ELCA social teaching, centering in the Caring for Creation: Vision, Hope and Justice social statement, the new “Earth’s Climate Crisis” social message, and the ongoing work of the Corporate Social Responsibility program, and will build momentum and power to energize further action and impact.
Learn more and apply before July 19: blogs.elca.org/advocacy/fall-climate-summit-equips-young-adults-for-advocacy/
