The Lasallian Social Justice Institute (LSJI)

The Lasallian Social Justice Institute (LSJI)

LSJI was developed by a Lasallian group focused on service to the economically disadvantaged. The program offers participants a firsthand experience with a group of people living in poverty coupled with an analysis of Lasallian teachings of social justice. The program takes place in three different cities, each with a different focus: Chicago, Violence and Social Peacemaking; El Paso/Juarez, Global Economic Justice; San Francisco, Homelessness and Human Dignity.
