Workshop & Conversation: How Can Faith Communities Support the Civic Capacity of Children?

  • Holy Redeemer Catholic Church 206 New York Avenue Northwest Washington, DC, 20001 United States (map)

As we enter the giving season, how can we make giving more meaningful for children? As faith communities, we try to teach children to look out for the needs of others, to empathize, to share what they have, to do what they can to make the world a better place for all people. But do our kids really know that they matter to their community? Our current practices of engaging kids in community are often outdated and unevenly focused on children of means. What is the future? Come learn, explore, and share your own insights about how to provide the right foundation, help all kids find their unique path, and then get out of the way!

Join us if you are a clergy, lay person, religious educator, parent, or teacher interested in engaging children in giving practices. Leave with new ideas and tools for supporting children to contribute to a thriving community.
