Young Adult Advisory Panel

Catholic Aid realizes that it is essential to include youth/young adults as active participants in any development initiative. They have to be equal partners in the process. Their involvement presents a great challenge to adults and charges them to rethink how they have engaged in planning, program development and implementation. Therefore, the Fraternal Department will pilot a Young Adult Advisory Panel of 8-10 young adults or youth ministers.

Description of the Panel:
The Young Adult Advisory Panel will be focused on how Catholic Aid can increase visibility, promote volunteerism, and foster spirituality in Catholic Aid young people. The panel will assist councils in strengthening relationships with youth.
The panel will consist of 8-10 young adults or youth ministers. Members of the panel will be compensated for their time.
Locations for panels: St. Cloud, MN & St. Paul, MN

Eligibility:
The nominee should be available to meet 2-3 times per year.
The nominee should be between the ages of 17 and 30, or a Catholic youth minister.

Deadline:
Nominations for this panel will be accepted in the Fraternal Department until May 1st, 2009.
