About Us
To take action for the relief of poverty, misfortune and all forms of suffering and injustices that young students and young workers may experience, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Through action, we seek to empower all young people to
- discover the deepest meaning of their lives
- live according to their personal and collective dignity
- take up responsibilities for finding solutions to their own situations and problems
We want a movement where all young people can belong, where their voices matter. We want a movement where young people can take actions on the issues that matter the most to them. We value personal invitations, community, respect and self-worth and having strong connections.
Everyone is welcome and especially underrepresented and vulnerable students and young workers. We want to build inclusion, so that all students and workers can feel represented, loved and validated in a community where everyone can feel safe in expressing their opinions, have challenging conversations and make decisions by consensus.
Our
Mission and Vision
Our
Methodology
SEE:
Observing the world around us and our action in it, being conscious of the issues that should be brought to attention.
JUDGE:
To create a deeper understanding of the issues from multiple perspectives and beliefs and apply these values to your own life and action.
ACT:
Finalising the plan and putting it into action with others in our community.
We are an international movement run BY, FOR, and WITH young workers, striving to SERVE, EDUCATE and REPRESENT young workers by empowering them to be the change they want to be in their places of work, study and in their communities, living out their VALUES and BELIEFS through action in daily life.
The YCW works to create a society, which actively supports, respects and values the God given dignity of each and every person.
The YCS is a student-led social justice group that aims to create change in schools and the community through creating action together. Actions are created using the See, Judge and Act method that is followed during weekly action discussions. With these actions students learn a variety of skills which helps them to change the world around them and learn more about themselves. – Written by Luciana, YCS Leader in Sydney
The International Cardijn Community seeks to continue Cardijn’s work by building a community of people inspired by the same vision of “the specifically lay apostolate of lay people,” his Three Truths dialectic, and his iconic “see-judge-act” method.
