Kayla Jacobs

Program Manager, Youth Mobilization

I serve as the program manager of Youth Mobilization for the Catholic Climate Covenant. I come to this work with 9 years of experience in the diocesan social ministry field, including 3 years as the Director of Programs for the first diocesan Laudato Si’ Ministry in the United States. My favorite line from Laudato Si’, Pope Francis’ encyclical on caring for creation, is: “Soil, water, mountains: everything is, as it were, a caress of God.” I have a passion for being in and seeing God’s love in nature, gardening, and enjoying outdoor sports, especially rock climbing and snowboarding.
