UPRISE YOURSELF!
As one of today’s multitudes of Millennial and GenZ generations, you are filled with hope…you have big plans for your life, and you have a passion for service!
You stand to make an incredibly large mark and impact on the world, based on the organizations, causes, events, and experiences that are most important to you.
What you choose to do to best share your one-of-a-kind, unique time, talent, treasure and ties with others - in your families, schools, parishes, and communities - will create in you your own unique Catholic identity that includes the virtue of generosity, which in turn will create a positive difference in others lives, and in your heart and spirit, as well.
UPRISE, the Catholic generosity commitment is an open invitation to you, to keep a priority of generosity throughout your life the Catholic causes most important to you, thru your works of mercy that will fundamentally change your heart, by improving the lives of others.
UPRISE within your FAMILY!
Though UPRISE is primarily a young adult movement, parents, as your first teachers, are great models of generosity for all of us, as well as grandparents and siblings play an important role.
By encouraging and supporting the UPRISE movement, parents and family members help strengthen and grow family relationships as well as individual and community faith; while empowering young adults to actively participate in UPRISE, it can deepen your faith, and help make the world a better place.
UPRISE at your PARISH!
With the blessing of the universal church community, UPRISE is supported and strengthened in youth ministry and throughout many Catholic social justice activities. Local Catholic parishes and pastors do a great job reinforcing the value of volunteer service experienced throughout UPRISE. It helps widen the circle of people volunteering to bring your Catholic generosity to life, helping to reach the goal of creating a better, more loving world for all.
UPRISE at SCHOOL!
When classmates, teachers, and principals take part in the UPRISE movement, a school community of caring forms; a sense of togetherness grows, and a local UPRISE volunteer service experience throughout the community occurs!
Creating awareness of the program and inspiring young adults to form URPISE in-school or as after-school clubs, or as holiday service projects unifies the school’s sense of unity and lifts up participants and supporters, encouraging them to share their Catholic generosity locally in the community, and beyond.
UPRISE in Your COMMUNITY!
A variety of community organizations, causes, events, and experiences are widely available to lift up opportunities of service throughout the works of mercy - in your local community, and around the globe. Catholic groups, as well as organizations who reflect the Catholic social justice teachings, are helpful partners to all UPRISE generosity commitment-makers.
Community neighbors and charitable organizations are finding today’s Millennial and GenZ young adults ready, willing, and open for engaging in creative, hands-on, individual and group service learning.
