Share you story with the Catholic Charities network

CCUSA's Storybank, a tool that allows staff of Catholic
Charities member agencies - and anyone touched by the Catholic
Charities ministry - to share insights and memories of people
realizing their inherent dignity: stories that relate everything from
overcoming an addiction to finding sustainable employment and
affordable housing. One of the best ways to make an impact on the
important issues that the Catholic Charities ministry addresses is to
show how people are actually helped: what was the specific issue?; how
was it resolved?; what did Catholic Charities do?; was there a
government program that was essential to the process? The stories
collected through this tool will be used to raise national awareness
of the work of the Catholic Charities network including, but not
limited to, posting to CCUSA's website and online platforms,
sharing with national media outlets and policymakers, and featuring in
future issues of Charities USA. Please note: All submissions will
clearly credit the respective member agency. SUBMIT YOUR STORY HERE

The Laudato Si' Action Platform

Pope Francis is challenging Catholic communities and organizations
across the world - including Catholic Charities agencies - to
gradually work toward "total sustainability" in our common call to
care for creation. This invitation is centered upon a Laudato
Si' Action Platform through which Catholic organizations
publicly commit to a seven-year journey of ecological conversion. The
action platform is framed across seven Laudato Si' goals which
reflect Catholic Social Teaching and provide "footsteps"
in areas such as education, spirituality, the adoption of sustainable
practices, community engagement, and a commitment to address poverty.
Registration to commit to this process has now opened and will
conclude on October 4, the Feast of Saint Francis. Read more
here. You may also reach out to Scott Hurd, Vice President for
Leadership Development and Catholic Identity at CCUSA.

CCUSA/LEO evaluation cohort on improving youth outcomes

Join us Thursday, June 24th at 2:30 PM ET to learn about the CCUSA/LEO
evaluation partnership on improving youth outcomes. Register here for
the meeting. Catholic Charities USA and the Wilson Sheehan Lab for
Economic Opportunity (LEO) are launching an initiative focused on
evaluating programs that are improving outcomes for youth (under age
25). LEO and CCUSA are seeking to identify five Catholic Charities
member agencies who are currently running innovative youth programs
and are interested in research. The goal is to test innovative
programs that are decreasing youth inequality; outcomes of interest
include: education attainment, employment and earnings, housing
stability, decreased involvement with the criminal justice system,
etc. Ideal candidates for this partnership are organizations that are
committed to launching an RCT to evaluate an existing program focused
on improving youth outcomes.

[link removed]

 Any staff working with youth-serving (ages 0-25) programs are
invited to attend to learn if this evaluation partnership is a fit for
your program, and vice versa. Support from key agency decision makers
is critical to the success of this partnership, so participation from
executive, evaluation, and program leaders is strongly encouraged.
Find full details about this partnership using this link.

Building Community to End Poverty Webinar

How can families experiencing poverty gain stability in the
post-pandemic economy? How can volunteers overcome pandemic social
isolation through meaningful relationships with others in their
community? Through the Circles model, participating communities
support families to get out of poverty and remove the barriers that
stand in the way. In this webinar, Circles USA presenters will share
what they're learning about "building community to end
poverty" at a variety of levels: (1.) Empowering families of low
wealth to make gains in income, education, employment, home ownership,
reliable transportation, social support, and emotional/physical
wellbeing; (2.) Encouraging volunteers and staff to expand their
knowledge of poverty, empathy, and engagement in their communities;
(3.) Organizing communities to implement initiatives that remove
systemic barriers to poverty reduction; (4.) Building relationships
across all sectors, including the business/economic development
stakeholders and policymakers; (5.) Fostering poverty reduction
systems that tackle root causes of poverty. Date: July 7, 2021. Time:
2 PM EST. Registration here.
