Our mission
Global Partnerships creates opportunities for students to use their gifts and calling to serve with trusted partners—both across the United States and around the world.
Our vision
Through Global Partnerships, North Park students join in transformative community work alongside international leaders already living out justice, mercy, and faith in their contexts. Students learn what it means to follow Jesus in intercultural settings—growing in relationship, deepening their faith, and returning with a renewed commitment to justice in their own communities.
