Young Lasallians

Young Lasallians are those who are involved with, and benefit from, the Lasallian Educational Mission - including both current and former students, lay volunteers, teachers, faculty and staff, administrators, and young Brothers. This particular age group of 16-25 has great influence on the mission as a whole, coming up with creative and innovative ways to keep the Lasallian spirit alive.

The term Young Lasallian unites all who are connected to the mission of changing and transforming the lives of young people, especially the poor, through education. These individuals have been positively affected by their Lasallian experience and seek to further their connections to it. They commit to our values of faith, service, and community in dedication to our founder, St. John Baptist de La Salle. The movement is international, aiming to support young people spiritually, academically, and holistically to build a better world.

The incentive for empowering this age group is clear: Young Lasallians become Lasallian educators, benefactors, board members, church leaders, and staff professionals. This emergence of young leaders carrying the Lasallian charism is timely, as a growing number of Christian Brothers reach their senior years and retire. The ultimate goal of the program is to make sure the 340-year legacy of St. John Baptist de La Salle and the Christian Brothers lives on.
