More Information About the Young Adult Advisory Team

The Young Adult Advisory Team will consist of young adults and youth ministers who will help Catholic Aid on their youth/young adult initiatives. Catholic Aid has realized that we need youth and young adults to be active participants in the initiatives. We need your help!

There will be a stipend for those who are on the committees (One committee will be in St. Cloud, one in St. Paul). We haven't determined the amount yet, but think that the stipend would be helpful for young adults in college.

Some of the topics we would like to discuss in the young adult advisory are:

Who is CAA and Why Have This Panel?
What does CAA Offer Youth and Young Adults Currently?
What can CAA Offer Youth and Young Adults in the Future?
Explore the Possibility of Social Networking/Volunteer Events?
Explore the Possibility of a Leadership Speaker Series.
Explore the Possibilities of our Scholarship Program
Explore the Ideas for the Annual Convention: How to Get Youth & Young Adults Involved in Convention?
Once a Year We Would Have a Fun Event and a Volunteer Event.

Heather Vargo, Youth Fraternal Liaison, is hoping that the Young Adult Advisory Team will help Catholic Aid better engage youth and young adults in the organization and in their spiritual lives. Also, she hopes that Catholic Aid can offer more volunteer opportunities for youth and young adults (perhaps offer regional service projects).
