- Lift the Catholic voice on creation care issues, especially the voices of Catholic youth and young adults
- Focus on classroom instruction, curriculum, or projects related to creation care
- Lift environmental justice issues (e.g., projects/programs that partner with frontline communities and impacted communities, and that center leadership in impacted communities of color)
- Promote advocacy and dialogue with Church and political leaders on the call to care for creation and vulnerable neighbors
- Support events (educational events, rallies, fairs, festivals) that connect to Season of Creation, Feast of St. Francis, and/or Earth Day
- Promote prayer services and liturgies related to creation care
- Help promote understanding, bridge-building, and healing related to creation care through retreats, workshops, or other gatherings
