Vocation Ambassadors

Vocation Ambassadors

March 15 is deadline


Religious communities have until March 15 to apply for the NRVC Vocation Ambassadors program, which begins with a workshop June 10-13. The program–an effort to equip young adults to serve as ambassadors for religious–is free, thanks to the sponsorship of the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation. Teams composed of communicators, vocation ministers, and young adults must commit to 100 hours of participation.

The three goals of the June Share the Sacred workshop are:

  • To enhance communication skills to develop a consistent message about vocations to religious life as a viable option in the Catholic Church;
  • To understand a comprehensive approach to promote all forms of religious life while encouraging inquirers and seekers to learn more about your spirituality, mission, core values, and charism of your religious institute; and
  • To create a collaborative communications strategic plan for vocations.

The expectation of a collaborative communications strategic plan for vocations includes developing media content to promote all of religious life, (not just for the particular religious institutes selected to attend this program). This will benefit NRVC by providing new and relevant resources on a regular and ongoing basis.

With a forum for teams to share ideas and media materials with NRVC, which in turn can share them with members, this Vocation Ambassador program has potential to impact a wide audience. Downloadable resources, for instance, can be made available to all NRVC members.

Members of the committee that helped design Vocation Ambassadors included religious, lay communicators, and young adults.
