The Center for FaithJustice (CFJ) offers two service programs for young adults: LeaderworX is a summer of
service for 19 - 25-year-olds, and the FaithJustice Fellowship is a full year of service for post grads, those taking
gap years, or those in career changes. Both involve living in community, working with young people, gaining
leadership skills, working with non-profit organizations, engaging in direct service, and advocating for justice.
Named for the biblical passage that inspired them “Faith without works is dead” (James 2:26), our WorX
programs center on the values of social justice through the lens of Catholic Social Teaching, and helps
participants discern how they can live them out in daily life. Our alumni have gone on to become impressive
servant leaders in many diverse fields ranging from international aid to corporate America. Benefits: Housing,
food, personal stipend, health insurance, travel reimbursement, community outing budget, spiritual direction.

CIELO promotes community, self-sufficiency, and leadership of Latinos in the South Puget Sound. In 1996, a
group of 8 dedicated Latinas founded CIELO. Their purpose was to help the growing Latino population in the
South Puget Sound access mental health services (since then, we have significantly expanded our services). In
1997 CIELO was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) organization. CIELO has been a trusted and respected resource for
the Latino community and other immigrants and refugees. We also work alongside other agencies and
organizations that serve our community. We aim to be a hub for the South Puget Sound, where people of all
generations and life experiences celebrate cultures and traditions in an atmosphere of respect and dignity. Viva
CIELO!
