Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice, Washington D.C., October 27-30:

We are currently recruiting students interested in attending the annual Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice (IFTJ) in Washington D.C.  IFTJ is an opportunity for students to be empowered, inspired, challenged, and supported by a community that sees faith and justice integrally linked.  Attendees will meet students from Catholic institutions from all over the United States while hearing an amazing group of speakers on issues of social justice and advocacy.  They will be coached in the art of presenting an "ask" to elected representatives, and then conclude the conference by heading to Capitol Hill on Monday morning to meet with their members of Congress to present their own "asks" on issues of justice.

To learn more about IFTJ, visit:  https://ignatiansolidarity.net/iftj/

In addition to taking part in the IFTJ, the students will have the opportunity to explore the various museums and monuments of D.C. on Saturday before the conference begins in the late afternoon. For application and cost information, contact Ms. Kemper.

Questions can be directed to the St. Ursula Academy Service, Equity, and Global Education Department:
