Ways to Take A Stand

Sometimes it's difficult to take a stand. However, those who are part of the SCN Family are called to do that every day. The mission statement calls the SCN Family to work for justice in solidarity with oppressed peoples, especially the economically poor and women, and to care for the earth.

Here are some of the things you can do:
  • Participate in fundraising projects, charity-sponsored walks, food collections, and clothing drives. Click here for a list of the SCN Family fundraising projects.
  • Volunteer your time. Our director of lay mission volunteer programs can connect you with an opportunity to serve with and learn from the poor in ways that are right for you. Click here to learn more about volunteering with the SCN Family.
  • Have a garage sale and donate proceeds to the charity of your choice.
  • Check out opportunities to participate in advocacy and systemic change from the SCN Office of Global Ministries. It is likely that your concerns are also our concerns. The Office of Global Ministries looks at poverty, justice and peace issues worldwide, keeping tabs on policies and providing updates and ideas for you to consider.
