Laudato Si’ Animators
Laudato Si’ Animators are local leaders who strive to live Laudato Si’ in their own lives while inspiring and motivating others in their communities to bring Laudato Si’ to life as well.
We need each other in this journey for a better future. Working together, we are building a mass scale movement to address the ecological crisis and climate emergency.

- See your deep connections to this crisis–and to the movement that’s solving it.
- Practice leadership in your community and reflect on your growth together.
- Connect to your faith and the values we hold dear.
- Dedicate yourself to a lifelong journey of ecological conversion, protecting our sisters and brothers and the common home we share.

- Please also speak with your Employer’s Human Resources Department (or consult your employee handbook) to see if they will make a donation (i.e. Volunteer grant) in honor of the time you volunteer with GCCM, or if they will match your gift. Many employers offer these types of employee benefits to both current and retired employees, but many employees do not know it’s offered.
