Laudato Si Clubs

Laudato Si’ Clubs unite young people from schools, universities, parishes, and communities to implement the principles outlined in Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’. Guided by the values of unity, faith, charity, and action, these clubs integrate Catholic Social Teaching, African cultural values, and national environmental guidelines. They foster climate action, enhance ecological awareness, support sustainable practices, and promote environmental stewardship as an expression of faith.

The Laudato Youth Initiative (LYI) establishes and oversees Laudato Si’ Clubs (LSiC) in schools, parishes, universities, dioceses, and communities.

 LYI operationalizes the vision of Laudato Si’ through practical, youth-led activities grounded in African values and inspired by St. Adolf Mukasa Rudigo, the Ugandan martyr and Patron of Farmers and Hardmen. This model provides an African communal perspective on Laudato Si’, emphasizing unity and action under the motto, “United for Climate Action.” LYI encourages young people to act as responsible citizens, volunteer for the common good, and develop self-reliance through teamwork. Guided by Christian ethics and African community values, members apply their skills to achieve positive outcomes. Volunteers lead the clubs, supporting the development of responsible ecological citizens and collaborating with schools, churches, and communities. The initiative draws inspiration from Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’, the Uganda Martyrs—particularly St. Adolf Mukasa Rudigo—Catholic Social Teaching, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and national environmental guidelines.

How a Ugandan Catholic Youth-Led Initiative is Responding to Laudato Si’

Across Uganda, young people are leading the charge in climate action, blending faith with tangible solutions. From schools and universities to dioceses, these youth are pioneering sustainability projects that extend beyond borders, now reaching Kenya and Tanzania. At the heart of this effort is the Laudato Youth Initiative (LYI), a dynamic force housed at the John Paul II Justice and Peace Centre in Uganda’s capital Kampala. Though operating from a modest one-room office, LYI coordinates a vast network of passionate young leaders committed to ecological transformation.
