Description
Youth Ministries for Peace and Justice (YMPJ) is a faith-based center for urban ministry dedicated to fostering peace and justice through youth and community organizing and development. Young people have been engaged in a four-phase process that promotes consciousness raising and critical thinking about their community and the world around them. The process also engages them in training about the role of faith and justice in repairing our community, with specific emphasis on fostering the six principles of Catholic Social Teaching.
