Together we can globalize solidarity!
1 La Salle responds to the call of the 46th General Chapter, aligning with the Institute’s renewed vision of co-responsibility, sustainability and accountability. As a solidarity and fundraising initiative, it is a renewal that calls us to broaden our imagination and to engage more intentionally in the Lasallian mission. The global campaign aims to generate resources for ministries in need by building community, growing in solidarity, and learning about the complex issues that face Lasallians around the world.
“The 1 La Salle Campaign emerges as a worldwide initiative of education, engagement and sharing of resources. Its purpose is simple and profound: to unite Lasallians everywhere in one common effort for the sake of the poor and vulnerable, so that no child is left behind.”

Our Vision
1 La Salle in the Lasallian Region of North America
We are 1 La Salle, joined to the global Lasallian family, through our five core Lasallian Principles. Brothers and Partners are called to animate this effort locally, helping our young people understand the Gospel call and the Lasallian meaning of their participation.
Respect for All Persons
Students will be inspired with curiosity to learn about the joys and challenges of youth around the world and gain a deep sense of honor for the inherent dignity of all people as children of God.
Quality Education
Schools will be invited to learn more about 1 La Salle through formation resources, classroom materials, and student engagement opportunities that will develop critical thinking skills and foster their talents to serve the world. Everyone teaches and everyone learns.
Faith in the Presence of God
Students will gain a deeper understanding of God’s dynamic presence in the world through interfaith dialogue and exchange of faith practices.
Inclusive Community
Students will be energized to grow in solidarity with their Lasallian sisters and brothers, especially those who live in underserved communities or who are misunderstood by mainstream society.
Concern for Poverty and Social Justice
In collaboration with the Lasallian International Fund and the La Salle International Foundation, fundraising efforts will be encouraged, ensuring that resources are equitably distributed where the needs are greatest.
