Our Mission
Compass facilitates transformative service-learning experiences rooted in exploration, reflection, and connection to help learners of all life stages cultivate purpose, community, faith, and character.
Our Vision
By making life-changing travel accessible to all, we empower hundreds of participants each year to become global citizens who live their purpose, serve with joy, and make change in their home communities.
Our Values
Inclusion: Compass is a space for everyone to develop and grow into their wholeselves. We believe that when you work to create a community where everyone belongs, you will always belong. Compass is a faith-based organization and we derive our value of inclusion from the life of Jesus Christ.
Presence: We value experiences that bring us face-to-face with ourselves and those around us. Compass creates space for stillness, processing and reflection that fosters deep connections.
Creativity: We practice creativity through intentional reflection and openness to unexpected ideas. Creativity fuels compassion and together they build hope. This paradigm applies to how we build community, debate ideas, and serve others.
