Community Action

University Ministry's Community Action program collaborates with a variety of other Bay Area non-profit agencies to provide students with opportunities to serve in their local community.

Through these programs our students honor the Jesuit ideals of being both men and women for others and contemplatives in action. Students witness the daily struggle of people living on the margins of society and are encouraged to ask questions about the systems which perpertuate this suffering.
