Description

Sojourner-Douglass College continues the legacy of self-determination that we began in the 1970’s. Our driving forces have remained the same: educating adults and empowering members of the community. At Sojourner-Douglass College, our focus on administration and the social sciences has grown out of a desire to transform the members of our local communities into decision-makers. In every area of our lives—from politics and business to education and health care—decisions are made which affect young people, elders, and everyone in-between.

Each of us walks through life and confronts obstacles and frustrations and brick walls that seem insurmountable; each of us knows the loneliness of trying to solve life's problems single-handedly. When challenged by such difficulties as those we face today, those that threaten not only our peace and tranquility but sometimes our very existence, each of us then understands the pain of isolation and the incredible burden of leadership and responsibility.

You now have an institution to which you can turn. The purpose of Sojourner-Douglass College is to provide a learning model that will aid students in increasing their capacity for self-development and self-expression, and will facilitate their engagement in effective social action as members of the world community. We engage in transformational education that resurrects the student and the community, restoring both and instilling the tools to generate new life.
