The late Rev. Louis I. Bannan, S.J., former Assistant to the President for the Alumni Association at Santa Clara University, framed the contemporary Jesuit mission of the service of faith through the promotion of justice as love. For him, deep faith was exemplified by love and justice was making God's love visible by our loving service to others.
The Alumni for Others (AFO) program at Santa Clara University engages alumni and friends of the University to share God's love of the poor and marginalized through a series of outreach efforts, both short and long-term service projects, to schools, churches, and/or social service agencies in need.
While most of these service projects are held in the greater Santa Clara Valley, we have purposely targeted outreach efforts in outlying locales such as Seattle, Portland, Sacramento, Oakland/East Bay, Peninsula/San Francisco, Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, Phoenix, and Denver.
