Dear Lasallians,

You know that our concern for the education and salvation of the most disadvantaged and marginalized youth originated in the concern that Saint John-Baptist de La Salle had for the fate of the children of the artisans and the poor of Reims. Service is a central aspect of our Lasallian identity, and particularly so for us young people.

Thousands of Lasallian volunteers worldwide, locally and abroad, take matters into their hands and work tirelessly for a better education for the vulnerable youth. They generously give their time, their energy and their resources in order to build a better world, and the Lasallian Educational Mission owes them a lot for their dedication. » Read more
