Established in 1789, Georgetown is the nation’s oldest Catholic and Jesuit university. Drawing upon this legacy, we provide students with a world-class learning experience focused on educating the whole person through exposure to different faiths, cultures and beliefs.  With our Jesuit values and location in Washington, D.C., Georgetown offers students a distinct opportunity to learn, experience and understand more about the world.  Housed within their Center for Social Justice, Georgetown University has been a One World Hub site since Fall 2009.

“One World Youth Project is a huge part of my college experience, and I think that this involvement has put me ahead of peers in many ways. It allowed me to have a direct impact on students and made me feel like I was having an actual, tangible effect. I don’t think I could have gotten this experience from any other program…[at] Georgetown.” – Zenen Jaimes, Georgetown University Project Manager Fellow 2010/2011 (Project Ambassador 2009/2010)
