JustSkills is a twenty week program that seeks to provide participants with some of the skills needed to make the work of social ministry more doable and effective within the local parish or church. It is designed to enhance leadership and increase the effectiveness of those involved in the difficult and complex work of direct service, advocacy, community organizing and justice education.
In the course of eight months, participants will engage in an extended and deliberate process of skill development that the work of social ministry can be done with effectiveness, insight and wisdom. The program also provides opportunities for participants to be formed in prayer leadership, spiritual reflection and community building. In so doing, JustSkills broadens and enhances the parish and diocesan commitment to effective social ministry and helps make the experience and practice of our faith more life-giving.
Participants in the JustSkills program are expected to commit to the following: dialogue and active listening, prayer formation and spiritual reflection; facilitation, weekly reading; attendance at sessions and retreats; and, researching and presenting a key social issue. Participants are also expected to make a commitment to support the group.
