SOCIAL JUSTICE AND COMMUNITY SERVICE INITIATIVES
[WEBPAGE IN PROGRESS]
The best place to start is simply to review our Justice, Peace, and Integrity of Creation (JPIC) webpages, since our youth and young adult parishioners can participate in almost all of our social justice ministries at Immaculate Conception. I have listed below, however, select JPIC service initiatives organized by and specifically involving our youth ministry or young adult parishioners.
If you would like to learn more about our youth and young adult ministry programs, please see Mariza's youth ministry and youth ministry volunteer opportunities webpages or contact her directly. She would love to hear from you! If you have any questions regarding our parish's Justice, Peace, and Integrity of Creation (JPIC) ministries, please contact me directly.

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
Each year, many members of our youth ministry choose to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity of Durham. Our JPIC and Youth Ministry parishioners have found volunteering with Habitat to be a popular and extremely rewarding experience.
TREES DURHAM
The Youth Ministry also volunteers with Trees Durham, helping to support its effort "to invest in and sustain a healthy, socially-just, climate-resilient tree canopy in Durham, NC." Below are some photos from their last tree planting event.
