Why a Youth Initiative at IREJN?

What is the best way to root our life styles in spirit and environmental awareness?

Answers to this question are evolving throughout faith communities across America. Eco-justice efforts such as ours are being called "the new civil rights movement" as faith based communities take the lead in Creation Care as part of their theology and practice.

We believe that a coalition of adults and youth must take the lead. We need to care enough about our common good to be a model of working together, across age lines and denominational lines. We can strengthen each other, share activities or educational ideas or simply support each other in asking these questions within our respective denominations.

IREJN is proud to announce its Youth Initiative. We are creating a coalition of youth and adults who will work together to develop
programs, conferencing, networking, educational resources and/or other events to strengthen a faith based commitment to actively caring for God's creation.
