Social Justice Initiative
Empowering Lives Through Understanding and Service

Our Social Justice Initiative is rooted in the belief of giving voice to the diverse experiences that shape our identities. This initiative is a seamless extension of our core philosophy: understanding without othering, empowering without labeling, and educating without discriminating.

Service

True social justice manifests through action. Our service-oriented programs engage clients and staff in meaningful community work, emphasizing the importance of tangible contributions over mere words.

Education

Understanding the complexities of social justice issues begins with education. Through regular team meetings and discussions, we provide a platform for learning and sharing diverse perspectives, fostering a deeper awareness among our staff and clients. Please find the link to our weekly Zoom meeting here.

Art

Creative expression is a vital tool for change. Our initiative encourages the use of art as a means to express, challenge, and engage with social issues, empowering our community to voice their experiences and views through artistic mediums.

Impact Through Action

Partnering with community organizations, we engage our clients in direct community service, allowing them to contribute to societal change while enriching their own lives through the act of giving and understanding. In response to significant societal events, such as the murder of George Floyd, our initiative seeks to engage in meaningful dialogue and action. We aim to create a more empathetic and just society by addressing these pressing issues head-on.
