CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE (C.L.I.)

C.L.I. is a summer leadership program designed to provide youth leaders with skills for leadership in their parish, school and community. It takes place for 5 days each summer with a limited enrollment.

The goals of the Christian Leadership Institute are to foster the leadership potential of each individual and to heighten his or her awareness of the responsibilities of leadership in a high school or parish and in the larger community. The week includes planning skills, group dynamics, communication skills and decision-making. There is daily opportunity for prayer, journal writing, worship experiences and reflection.

Christian Leadership Institute is open to youth entering their sophomore through senior year of high school.

To be eligible to attend CLI:

• Youth must be entering their sophomore through senior year of high school and be at least 15 years old at the time of CLI
• Youth should be involved (or plan to be involved) in parish, school and diocesan leadership roles such as parish youth council, student council, or diocesan youth council.
• Youth must be sent by their parish

SCOUTS

Scouting is an effective way to help Catholic youths to do their duty to God and to their country. Scouting builds character and teaches devotion to God in an environment that provides wholesome fun under the guidance of strong adult role models. The scouting programs provide a wonderful channel to involve youth in the life of Catholic parishes.

Once a year, in both Pensacola and Tallahassee, the Department of Youth sponsors Scout Sunday. Scouts receive recognition for the work they have done in their various religious medal programs. Special awards are also given to adult leaders for their work in Catholic scouting.
