Young Adult Influencers Program
The Young Adult Influencers Program is a unique six-month fellowship for young adults ages 18–35 who are passionate about faith, climate justice, and storytelling.
This program brings together a small cohort of Catholic young adult content creators to learn, create, connect, and grow. Fellows create and share compelling stories to connect the Catholic faith to environmental justice and everyday issues, culture, and current events on platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and Youtube.
The heart of this program is about much more than just content creation. It offers young adult Catholics the opportunity to use their voices, deepen their faith, flex their creative muscles, and build community, all while bringing faith, creativity, and hope into digital spaces where these conversations too often feel disconnected and divided.
Pillars of this program
Deepen your faith and expand your understanding.
Fellows explore Catholic social teaching, environmental justice, and the connections between faith, climate change, and environmental issues that affect their local communities. Through formation and conversation, fellows learn from each other, wrestle with complex questions of justice, and deepen their understanding of what it means to care for God’s creation.
Use your voice and tell your story.
This program aims to inspire and equip young people with the tools and confidence to communicate about climate change in creative and compelling ways. From short-form video to writing, audio, and visual storytelling, fellows create and collaborate on content that invite curiosity, conversation, and learning in digital spaces.
Find community and build relationships.
Fellows join a diverse cohort of young Catholics who care deeply about faith, creativity, and the future of our common home. This program is designed around relationship building, faith sharing, and creative collaboration.
Find your purpose and grow as a leader.
Fellows have opportunities to reflect, receive feedback, try new things, and hone the skills, confidence, and community they need to bring their ideas into the world – online and beyond.
Apply Now! Applications are Open!
Applications are open NOW until Friday, October 30th.
We are looking for people with something to say, and not necessarily people who already consider themselves influencers. You do not need a large following or professional media experience to apply. We are more interested in your perspective, creativity, curiosity, and willingness to learn.
The cohort will include both on-camera storytellers and behind-the-scenes creators who contribute through editing, design, translation, audio, and other forms of creative production. Fellows will receive a $1000 stipend, participate in an opening in-person retreat (January 2027) and monthly virtual cohort gatherings, and have opportunities to learn from one another and from Catholic Climate Covenant staff and partners.
If you are excited about using your voice and creativity to educate, tell stories, and spread hope about our common home, we would love for you to apply!
