Nazareth in Action Worldwide

This global effort encourages Nazareth alumni, students, families, and friends to make a difference through community engagement opportunities.

Nazareth in Action Worldwide carries the vision and values held closest to the Nazareth experience — inclusion, cooperation, changemaking, and service — into shared action and meaningful impact for the communities in which we work and live.

Nazareth in Action Worldwide is an open invitation to every member of the Nazareth community to roll up your sleeves, come together, and give back through volunteer opportunities in communities around the world during March 2024. In collaboration with community partners and organizations, the Naz family can help promote the importance and value of taking action for social justice.
