A place to learn, connect and grow.

Our Common Goals

Working toward the common goal of justice and liberation, we will co-create a community that allows each person to experience a sense of belonging, purpose and interconnectedness.

At Evergreen we strive to create a culture of mutual respect and care. The Center serves as a gathering place for Greeners and our surrounding community.

At the Social Justice Center for Equity and Belonging we will:

  • Educate, gain skills and build capacity on important issues such as race, social justice and equity in education
  • Foster collaborative partnerships, engage cultural difference, and promote courageous dialogue and advocacy through a social justice lens
  • Serve as a resource for the community
