Community Excel helps people address their problems and matchs them with the resources they need to lead healthy and productive lives. Beneath this practicality lies a strong value system that can be summarized in two words: social justice. Social justice is the view that everyone deserves equal economic, political and social rights and opportunities. We work to open the doors of access and opportunity for everyone, particularly those in greatest need. With the homeless clients, for example, social workers make sure their clients have access to food stamps and health care. The same is true for elderly clients: we may work to protect them from financial abuse or to ensure that they are receiving the health and financial benefits that are rightfully theirs.
Community Excel also apply social-justice principles to structural problems in Communirt Excel is involved in “connecting the dots” between peace and social justice. We believe that peace is not possible where there are gross inequalities of money and power, whether between workers and managers, nations and nations or men and women. Community Excel is committed to:1) the creation of just relationships at all system levels; 2) the development of structures that provide for equality of opportunity; 3) the facilitation of access to needed information, services and resources; and
4) the support of meaningful participation in decision-making for all people. |
