SJLI - Social Justice Learning Institute

A Focus on Equity:

Educational Equity
We know that a quality education is foundational to a prosperous future, and for that reason, education is at our core. Under the banner of Urban Scholars, SJLI specializes in culturally relevant learning, teaching, and curriculum development, which supports positive identity development, increases academic achievement, and expands opportunities for civic participation.

Health Equity
We believe that all communities should have access to fresh whole foods, clean and safe open spaces, and quality medical care. SJLI is committed to addressing health disparities through community development that is not only culturally relevant, but also builds the capacity of individuals to make healthy decisions in their personal lives. SJLI’s flagship health equity initiative is 100 Seeds of Change, which seeks to create a local food system.
