ABOUT AMATE HOUSE

Amate House is a year-long social justice leadership development program for college-educated adults between the ages of 21-29. Our program model includes full time service, faith formation, professional and leadership development, 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 and intensive leadership development programming.

Amate House’s mission is to develop young adult leaders into life-long social justice advocates who serve their communities while deepening their faith. We aspire to build a more just and loving society through leadership development for the Church and the world.

In 1984, Amate House was established as a volunteer program for young adults by three seminarians from the Archdiocese of Chicago, along with other lay and religious men and women, with the objective of transformation through service. The founders chose the name “Amate,” the Latin imperative to love, because they envisioned a program in which young adults would put love into action and answer the call to holiness by providing support and service to fulfill the needs of the city and the Archdiocese of Chicago.

DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION

Amate House respects and upholds the dignity of all persons regardless of the identities they hold. We believe that creating a just and diverse environment is more than an ideal: It is the core of who we are as an organization. We welcome people of every race, religion, culture, gender identity, sexual orientation, economic status, and family composition. We celebrate all persons regardless of where they may be on their spiritual journey. We value persons of all faith traditions, those with no faith tradition, as well as those who are questioning and exploring. We work to be a community that follows Catholic Social Teaching which upholds the life, dignity, and equality of all human beings. Amate House is working to become an anti-racist organization. We recognize the wounds endured by marginalized people in society, including people of color, women, and LGBTQIA people. We believe these communities must be centered in the work we do; therefore, we strongly encourage applications from people with these identities.
