Our Values
Solidarity
We accompany people in their journey and support their efforts within their local contexts to respond to the challenging issues facing their communities.Justice
We seek to create a world in which each person has agency within their own life, and has their rights upheld and dignity protected.Connection
We recognize that we live in an interconnected world and must work across cultures and borders to build just and equitable societies.Dignity
We see God in all people and root our work in the inherent rights of every person.Transparency
We uphold accountability as fundamental to fostering trust, teamwork, innovation and, most importantly, justice.
Our Framework
The work of American Jesuits International is informed by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Universal Apostolic Preferences (UAPs) of the Society of Jesus.
These two ambitious visions for a more just global society offer recommendations and inspiration as well as a recognizable framework for the work that we do. While no one organization could respond to all of the SDGs or fully embody the UAPs on its own, American Jesuits International is committed to working with the global community, in particular through Jesuit networks, to respond to these shared objectives.
