Students for Social Justice
Mission Statement
The Students for Social Justice Club is a safe space where students of all backgrounds and ethnicities can discuss and address the injustices that are happening around the world and in our own community. Our goal for this club is to help promote fairness and equality in St. Edmund Preparatory High School. This club is a place where everyone’s voice can be heard no matter what race, ethnicity, creed, etc. they belong to. We will work to raise awareness about injustice and racism but also encourage activism to inspire members of the St. Edmund Prep family to not only make a difference in our own community, but work toward making our society better as a whole. Our mission is to learn from personal experiences and use those experiences to guide our vision in enacting change for the future.
