Alive In You Outreach

Alive in You Outreach is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit driven by a simple but powerful belief: when young people serve, communities are transformed and so are the young people themselves. We empower Catholic teens to live out the Gospel through meaningful service by providing funding for parish service projects, scholarships for youth to attend service camps, and day-long community outreach events. We also equip youth ministry leaders with Catholic-based resources that connect our call to serve with the heart of our faith.

In the summer of 2026, we will launch our first-ever Alive in You Leadership Camp, a transformational week where teens will serve in the Chicago area, grow as leaders, and deepen their understanding of what it means to be Catholic disciples in action. Each parish’s leadership team will return home with a concrete plan to expand service opportunities for their peers, supported and mentored by our staff throughout the year.

This Giving Tuesday, your generosity makes this mission possible. Donations to our iGiveCatholic campaign will directly offset the cost of the Leadership Camp, ensuring that finances never stand in the way of a teen answering the call to serve. Together, we can raise up a generation of young leaders committed to faith, justice, and compassionate service.
