SERVICE & JUSTICE EXPERIENCES

Students putting up the walls of a house

Service and Justice Experiences (SJEs) are immersion opportunities where students build relationships with other 91色情片ns and community partners committed to working for change. During University breaks, students, faculty, and staff travel to learn from and serve alongside communities who are engaged in the struggle for justice internationally, domestically, and locally. Grounded in the Catholic Augustinian values of truth, unity and love, SJEs are open to all students, regardless of faith identity, who are willing to think critically about social issues and commit to working for the common good.

SJEs start with five weekly group meetings on campus to build community, engage in social analysis around a specific theme, and share in prayerful reflection. Then, over semester break, small groups spend a one-week immersion experience with their partner community where they gain first-hand experiences of and insights into the lives of people they encounter, take part in service, and develop a critical awareness of social issues.

All participating students must abide by the SJE program guidelines and bring an open mind and heart for the experience. They must be willing to listen attentively, share honestly, serve generously and question passionately.

"My SJE trip was a life changing experience and a core memory for me. I made new friends and met new people that I would not have been able to on campus. The people in my group were so loving and kind; we laughed so much the entire trip and bonded over so many things. Though building houses was hard, I learnt about the importance of teamwork and perseverance. I truly came back from this trip with a renewed perspective, beautiful memories, and new friends."
