The Gonzaga Institute for Action Against Hate was founded as a positive and enduring vehicle for combating hate and hate crimes on campuses and in communities throughout the nation. While numerous government and non-governmental organizations are working against hate, the Institute is the only organization whose primary goal is to focus multi-disciplinary academic resources on the causes and effects of hate as well as potential strategies for combating hate.

The JRAP represents youth (with a focus on girls) who are in the delinquency system, comprehensively across systems, and until they reach majority.  JRAP representation uses the legal system to access social and community services and hold systems accountable, reducing the use of incarceration and supporting girls in their communities.  In addition to individual representation, the JRAP is involved in ongoing research and policy advocacy aimed at reducing incarceration and supporting youth in their communities

The LIFE Club of St. Xavier High School is a group of young men who have a deep-rooted concern for a consistent ethic of life. The Club plans, organizes, and participates in events to support life from conception to natural death via Death Penalty Prayer Vigils, the Fast for Life, the March of Life in Washington, D.C., the School of Americas protest in Georgia, among others. Meeting times are during lunch periods of school days and the club meets on an as needed basis.

The Pro-Life Club of Boston College is dedicated to addressing all life issues, but focuses mostly on the topics of abortion, euthanasia and the death penalty. Members take part in weekly educational outreach and volunteer projects in Boston to aid pregnant women, mothers, and children in need.

Peace and Justice Programs aims to promote personal and social transformation. Towards the end of achieving these two objectives our work begins through the promotion of relationships. Through facilitating service, education and immersion experiences, we aim to actively engage the Xavier community in the lives of local, national and international communities. As students, faculty and staff get caught up in the lives of our local and global neighbors, in particular the lives of those individuals and communities who reside on our world’s social, economic and political margins, our programs foment and inform the desire and imperative to respond. In order to promote effective responses (and responders) we promote social analysis.

The San Diego Border Experience seeks to inform individuals of the various opinions of immigration by exposing volunteers to the faces behind the issue, and working in solidarity with those most closely affected by immigration.  This program offers educational travel and service learning opportunities to engage with community development initiatives.  Via International/Los Niños provides a framework to nourish personal development, foster community engagement, strengthen organizations, and promote global dialogue. 
 

This student-run group, based out of the Campus Ministry department, convenes weekly to discuss and learn about current issues, reflect on them in light of members' experience and beliefs, and respond to them in a way that respects the dignity of all creation.

Service Justice Clubs include:  Alternative Breaks Club, Earthbread, Proponents for Parents, Pro-life, STAND XU.

The S/J’s are dedicated to “making justice happen” on campus and in the community. Started immediately upon the return from the School of the Americas protest in 2003, this group sought to make justice a year-round priority on campus. They helped make fair trade coffee available in our Campus Center, registered 80 students to vote through a Voter Registration Drive, co-hosted a Hunger Banquet with our campus Habitat for Humanity chapter, which is an interactive experience seeking to address hunger, poverty and inequality in our world. The event featured a speaker from the Mobile Habitat for Humanity affiliate.

The group raised money for Heifer International, an organization dedicated to promoting self-sufficiency at 400 sites in 75 countries throughout the world. The money is used to help raise livestock and train locals in caring for these animals. The Students for Justice have plans to continue these efforts in the upcoming year as well.

Following a consistent ethic of life, the club seeks to engage the community in dialogue and action concerning those society deems less valuable. Students for Life speaks out on behalf of the unborn, poor, handicapped, elderly, and the condemned through service, education, and an engaging Life Week.
