I would invite anyone who likes to get out and show support, or who likes the idea of evangelizing, to join a Catholic group that goes out into the streets to tell people about the good news. Sometimes we do not seem to know what evangelizing is (the word has been coopted by secular society to mean "you should use the same kind of phone that I do" or whatever) and in trying to recover the meaning of the word (it has something to do with what Jesus told us to do, not with consumer electronics; he told us to do works of mercy; maybe it means doing works of mercy) and perhaps because "philanthropizing" is an awkward word (even the Wizard of Oz settled on "we call them... Good Deed Do -ers") we figure one Greek cognate is as good as another Greek cognate.
