American Jesuits International
We believe that people understand their context best, so we work with Jesuit organizations who are already immersed in local communities. From schools to migrant centers, parishes to health clinics, the Jesuits have been responding to the needs of communities in need for nearly 500 years.
Your support allows us to amplify their capacity to respond to the challenges that their communities face.

Priority Areas of Work
The Jesuits have been working alongside poor and marginalized communities for nearly 500 years. Central to this tradition is an invitation to discern where we are called to engage in works of justice while recognizing the limitations of our capacities.
Our areas of work reflect the priorities of American Jesuits International and the particular expertise of our partners.
