Named for Janet Erskine Stuart, RSCJ, the work of the Stuart Center follows her example – building bridges between and among people through education and experience, providing both the best in understanding the issues that confront us both locally and globally, and finding the best ways to respond in the spirit of our mission.

We provide space, both virtually and physically, for groups to create spaces to learn, plan, understand and create a culture of response in light of the mission.
