Background
The mission of the Stuart Center is ¨to work for social justice through education, empowerment and partnership with others at the national and international level". The Stuart Center International Volunteer program has three pillars: service, community and reflection. The volunteers work in the JPIC areas represents a high priority for the USC Province.
Activities
Volunteers are directed to projects that focus on either immigration, care of the environmental, peace education and/or conflict resolution. They are expected to work full-time (Monday-Friday with a 7-8 hour day) with non-profit partner organizations that share the Stuart Centre's commitment to JPIC and whose mission is aligned with that of the Society of the Sacred Heart. The partner organizations are required to provide volunteers with meaningful, direct service experience.
Outcomes
Volunteers will broaden their intellectual understanding of complex issues as well as open their hearts and minds to the situation of people on the move and the earth.
Extra comments :
Volunteers, as agents of transformation in people, are the first focus of the programme. Indirectly, the programme centres people as people who are marginalised and of planet according to the organisation activities the volunteers are allocated.
