What religious communities have the strongest charism for evangelization?

Wow. Evangelism is a very broad category. What, exactly, is the attraction? Are you male or female, and asking for yourself or someone else?
If you’re female and younger than 35, the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist in Ann Arbor, MI, were founded for the New Evangelization – which is aimed at Catholics.
St. Paul Street Evangelization is now moving to Warren, MI, where their emerging society of apostolic life has a convent in which to grow and discern.

I am a male. Thank you, could you possibly provide more for the male options, or at least somewhere I can find information?

Here is the Vocations search machine for the Institute on Religious Life membership:

There are 175 members, but I don’t know how many of them are male communities. I think there are more female communities than male. At least that will narrow the field somewhat.
And here is the website for the “blue book” – The Guide to Religious Ministries for Catholic Men and Women.

And permit me to repeat my mantra – always look locally first, which includes neighboring dioceses.

Keep in mind people mean different things by “evangelism”. Look for a group that is rooted in solid doctrinal content. There are other groups that use the word evangelism but they mean working towards equality, peace and Justice, voter registration, making parishes into community centers, with no specific Catholic doctrine.

Evangelization can take a lot of different forms. The Jesuits, with their work in schools, colleges, and campus ministry do a lot of work in spreading the faith. The Paulist Fathers do campus ministry, outreach to non-practicing Catholics, and outreach to young adults.
These days there’s a huge need to evangelize Catholics.

Be careful to consider a religious order as they are now, not necessarily based on their past. Many religious orders have lots of saints, but they are all dead, and in recent decades the leaders are too closely attuned to the demands of CNN or the NY Times.
There are other religious communities, both old and post Vatican II, that are, in 2018, committed to Catholic doctrine. They are more likely to be effective in evangelism, as described by St. JP II, for instance.
Both the bad and the good orders will use the word “evangelism”, but some consider doctrine as an important guide, and others consider it extra baggage.
