About Servant Forge
Servant Forge identifies projects that can contribute to individual and community transformation and promote the health and safety of a community's citizens. These projects focus on developing leaders that will embrace service as a lifestyle and utilize service principles to build capacity in organizations responding to poverty, disease, violence and substance abuse.
Building Leaders Prepared for Service
Our mission is to build leaders who will transform communities and nations by practicing and promoting service and to challenge citizens to embrace service as a means to improve education, promote civic involvement, eradicate poverty, guarantee health and safety and to secure their environment.
Servant Forge programs focus on developing in the various service professions (law enforcement, education, social service, public health, faith) an attitude of servanthood that encourages actions that strengthen an individual’s personal and social development.
Further, Servant Forge trains representatives from various industries (sports, government, entertainment, corporate and volunteer sector) to become Servant Fellows. Servant Fellows are highly-respected individuals who can influence others to develop a service-driven approach to philanthropy.
In order to promote personal and social development in a broader social context it is essential that the service professions support the following liberties:
- The freedom to learn
- The freedom from disease
- The freedom to worship
- The freedom from oppression
- The freedom from poverty and from want
The servanthood model is made real through the work of Servant Forge training, facilitation, policy analysis and advocacy. These activities, which supports these liberties, help transform individuals, communities and nations.
