Young Lasallians are adolescents and young adults who are moved by the spirit of St. John Baptist De La Salle and who wish to be active agents of change against poverty and injustice as they contribute to transform the lives of the young, especially the poor, through education. The term Young Lasallians is an inclusive reality that brings together all groups of young people who are in some way or another connected to the Lasallian Educational Mission, while acknowledging their different realities and needs.
The Young Lasallian Movement aims at awakening awareness of the personal and collective vocational journey of adolescents and young adults involved in the Lasallian Educational Mission. This movement engages them on a personal, professional, and spiritual level to go beyond their boundaries to reach out so that they, and those they accompany, may have life, and have it in its fullest (John 10:10). Young Lasallians respond to a call to be on a journey of living the Lasallian values and carrying out the mission that Saint John-Baptist De-La-Salle first started more than 300 years ago.
Why focusing on Young Lasallians?
Young Lasallians are everywhere! Wherever there is a Lasallian educational ministry, there are young people whose life has been touched by the Lasallian charism and who dedicate themselves to the Lasallian Educational Mission. The Young Lasallians Movement takes a different form in each of the 80 countries and more where Lasallians are present, given the different local realities and cultures, and that it is this diversity of expressions of the same mission that brings an invaluable richness to the Institute.
