Do you know an emerging young adult leader? Are you one? Contemplative Leaders in Action (CLA) is a leadership program for young adults (age 24-39), rooted in the spirituality tradition of St. Ignatius of Loyola.
The world needs Ignatian leaders – passionate “contemplatives in action” discerning God’s movements in their lives and responding out of love as hopeful, joyful people with and for others. This kind of leadership flows from a deep spiritual life and inspired sense of purpose.
If you are a young adult, learn more about CLA and the application process! If you are a seasoned adult, please nominate younger adults you know who would benefit from this national program by emailing cladet@ignatianyoungadults.org.
Apply by May 31. To learn more, visit CLA-Detroit and our FAQs. For more information please contact Anthony Marciniak at cladet@ignatianyoungadults.org,
