STAND (Students Taking Action Now - Darfur)

Born out of the fight to stop genocide in Darfur, Sudan, STAND is devoted to creating a sustainable student network that actively fights genocide wherever it may occur.

Mission

The mission of the STAND chapter at JCU is to raise awareness on the local underprivileged communities, and to volunteer at Centers that welcome those in need. STAND currently carries out community service activities at the three Centers: the Church of Santa Lucia del Gonfalone, Vo.Re.Co and at the Baobab Experience.
