Our program model includes full-time service, faith formation and community living. Based on their professional interests, Amate House matches young adult leaders with full-time volunteer positions in non-profit organizations, schools and ministries in Chicago’s most under-resourced communities. These young people live together in an Amate House residence and receive faith formation based on Catholic Social Teaching as well as intensive leadership development programming.
