Schlegel Center for Service and Justice<br />

The John P. Schlegel, SJ, Center for Service and Justice seeks to spark passion for truth<br />

and justice and nourish courage and lives of commitment. The SCSJ engages students in<br />

community service, reflection and action on behalf of justice and sustainability as an integral<br />

part of their Jesuit, Catholic university education. Visit the SCSJ in Lower Becker Hall, or<br />

contact scsj@creighton.edu or 402.280.1290.<br />

Weekly Service<br />

A majority of incoming students have had some form of community<br />

service experience in high school. The SCSJ helps continue that<br />

commitment to service and build new relationships as students enter<br />

the Creighton and Omaha communities. Partnerships with a number<br />

of sites around the metro area provide students an opportunity to drop<br />

in for one-time or consistent volunteer experiences each week. If your<br />

interests are beyond the sites offered, the SCSJ can work with you to<br />

find the right fit.<br />

Service and Justice Trips<br />

Faculty, staff and students consistently say that going on a Service and<br />

Justice Trip is one thing that everyone should do before graduation.<br />

Why not go right away? Each fall and spring break, hundreds of<br />

students travel across the country to serve and learn on half- and fullweek<br />

Service and Justice Trips. Whether you’re working with people<br />

experiencing homelessness in Cleveland, learning about mountaintop<br />

removal in West Virginia or providing hurricane relief in New Orleans,<br />

you’ll find opportunities for all service passions.<br />

Ignatian Advocacy<br />

The SCSJ also enhances passions for making the world a better<br />

place by introducing students to others who have similar hopes and<br />

dreams for the world. Students consistently meet with local, state<br />

and national leaders to advocate for and learn about policy reform on<br />

several key justice issues.<br />
