Laudato Si' Advocate

The Laudato Si' Advocates Program is an internship that is co-administered by Creatio, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), and National Religious Partnership for the Environment (NRPE).

The mission of the Laudato Si’ Advocates Program is to raise up a generation of Catholic leaders who promote integral ecology through advocacy and witness. Each year, Laudato Si' Advocates engage in legislative advocacy for federal policies across party lines to cultivate a new political culture that is motivated by a desire to find common ground for the good of our common home.
