GO! California 2027

The mission of Global Outreach is to engage with, be challenged by, and further evolve Fordham’s partnerships with communities around the world. Global Outreach seeks to nurture civically minded leaders for a global society who work for justice and solidarity and are committed to lifelong learning and holistic transformation. GO! values an ongoing commitment to sustainable relationships, anti-racism, solidarity, environmental stewardship, community engagement, global citizenship, cultural exchange, education, and multiculturalism.

This January, a team of current Fordham students and a Fordham faculty member will immerse themselves in the culture of East Los Angeles, California. We will be working with Dolores Mission Church, a Jesuit Catholic Parish that provides direct service to migrants through Christian Base Communities. Dolores Mission responds to the spiritual, educational, physical, and emotional needs of its community. Our Fordham team will work with Dolores Mission to engage the local community, providing support to a variety of populations, including immigrants and lower-income families, while also learning about the Boyle Heights community in East Los Angeles. We will also be working with Homeboy Industries, Guadalupe Homeless Project, IMPACTO, and the LA Catholic Worker. We hope you will support our efforts to deepen our knowledge and engagement with Fordham’s mission by promoting the moral and intellectual development that this immersion fosters. We appreciate any and all donations, regardless of their size.

Thank you so much!
