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 />
