Social Concerns Center

The Social Concerns Center of the Lasallian Mission Unit serves as the social arm of La Salle University. Its primary goal is to enhance the quality of life of the people in the community through various programs and interventions. The center works in collaboration with its students, Lasallian partners, alumni, and partners institutions/agencies to provide support services.

The center's programs and services are anchored on the Lasallian Guiding Principles and Lasallian Reflection Framework.
