S.E.E.D. Leaders
Who are S.E.E.D. Leaders?
S.E.E.D. Leaders are young adult volunteers who discern, plan, and execute a S.E.E.D. Retreat. Leaders serve as a guide for S.E.E.D. retreatants to develop their relationship with God, with their families, and with other retreatants. A Leader's mission is to provide an open and nurturing environment for the retreatant to find God through talks and fun activities.
S.E.E.D. Retreat is unique where most of the retreat planning is actually done by the leaders and not the priest. A leader will work on a team comprised of 9-15 other leaders to plan a 3 day retreat. The planning process takes about 10 weeks during late spring and early summer. If you feel called to serve S.E.E.D. retreat as a leader, please reach out to the National Coordinating Team.
