Building right relationships at home
KAIROS welcomes your involvement, whatever your interest. We need your skills and knowledge and in turn we’d like to work with you on the issues that concern you. Here are some ways to connect:
Join a local KAIROS group:
KAIROS Communities are found across the country—just email info[at]kairoscanada[dot]org or a regional representative to enquire (we don’t post contact info in order to protect volunteers’ privacy.) Some communities have a very specific focus, such as Aboriginal rights or anti-poverty work, while others are committed to a broad range of justice and peace issues. All work with interested faith communities and individuals of conscience to build this growing and vibrant movement.
Start a KAIROS Community. If no group exists in your area, form one! We have a network coordinator to help you get started, and a network handbook to give you step-by-step support. Your regional reps can connect your group to interested people and regional activities.
Attend a regional or local event. Check out our events listings for activities going on across the country. Be sure to let us know if you’re planning an event that touches on a relevant issue and involves a Kairos member or partner.
Plan a local or regional event and be sure to add some creative flair. Throughout the year we invite people to make a community contribution to the Week to End Poverty, National Aboriginal Day, Human Rights Day, KAIROS Sunday, Earth Hour, and many more. Add a community meal, popular theatre, art, or a creative demonstration to your event. Let us know about your event so we can post it and support it.
Subscribe to our free monthly newsletter, Kairos Times. We also have e-lists on poverty, Aboriginal rights, migrant justice and trade.
Respond to urgent actions sent out through our Kairos Times list.
Download and use online resources. Most resources can be found in our catalogue. Have a look at each major program area and the current campaign page-- there are many articles and reflections available in each section of the site. Check the national events page. If you want to learn or talk about KAIROS, see our program priorities and the KAIROS bible study (both are PDF files).
We would love to hear from you!
