Social Justice

Social Justice
God cares about social justice and, in following the footsteps of Jesus, we too are passionate about pursuing social justice in our community and beyond. There are a few ways we try to pursue social jus­tice practically day to day. Through our Mexico Service Team and our Justice Corps, come check out ways you can get involved and discover God's heart for social justice.
Meeting emotional, physical, and spiritual needs of everyday people is what Jesus has always been about.  We take weekend trips to Mexico where we do construction, distribute food to local communities, volunteer in orphanages, & develop lasting friendships with the people we encounter from both sides of the border.

S.A.L.T stands for Surfers about Living Truth. "Living Truth" isn't about a religion or a philosophy, it's about relationships and lifestyle. As surfers it's about respecting and loving one another in and out of the water, sharing your talents in positive ways, and helping to preserve our oceans and marshes. Our hope is that through enriching students with surf sessions, beach clean ups, films, BBQs and other outdoor activities, we can positively enrich our surf culture here at UCSD. Non-surfers and beginners are welcome too!
