Global Outreach: Service and Solidarity

Tuesday, January 28, 2014

Global Outreach: Service and Solidarity: Global Outreach: Service & Solidarity is an opportunity for the students of Saint Peter’s University to experience the truly global nature of their Jesuit education by volunteering, learning, and living in community domestically and internationally. We offer multiple immersion trips annually in which students critically engage the issues at hand. The program’s organizing principle is twofold: First, that consideration of how one might apply one’s education, talents, and passion in service of those at the margins is an integral element of a robust, humanizing education. Secondly, that this is most fruitfully accomplished when one is in solidarity – when one recognizes the common humanity and dignity – with those for and with whom one labors. In addition to reflections on our intellectual, spiritual, and volunteer work, the Global Outreach blog will feature reporting on events that are culturally relevant to our volunteer sites - Ecuador, Mexico, & the Dominican Republic - and their diasporas.
