​CLA is a two-year program that cultivates Ignatian spirituality and leadership in young adults in their 20's and 30's. Participants join a vibrant, faith-filled community of peers committed to becoming leaders in their fields and finding God in all things.

Works of Love.

“Works of Love” is an adventure into what it means to love God and love our neighbor. Our belief is that these are not separate acts, but both are completely intertwined, our spirituality and our works of love.

​For ten weeks, we are going deeper. Each week we will consider works of love in the context of a different topic or issue. Join us as we pray, reflect, and take action!

CLA 2020!

​For more than a decade, Contemplative Leaders in Action (CLA) has provided a supportive community for talented young adults to explore the gifts of Ignatian spirituality and cultivate their leadership talents to share with the world.

As we look to the next decade, we want to take some time to reflect on how we “do” CLA to ensure it continues to serve its mission.

We spoke with you, the CLA community, to get your feedback. Now, we are reflecting on what you told us, sharing your feedback with a group of experts in the field, and revising parts of the curriculum to improve an already wonderful program.

​The community that builds and sustains CLA is one of the programs greatest assets. So, we want to make sure that you, the CLA community, know what we are up to and have every opportunity to share your thoughts along the way. Click below to see where we are.
