American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)

The American Friends Service Committee is a Quaker organization that includes people of various faiths who are committed to social justice, peace and humanitarian service. Founded in 1917, its work is based on the belief in the worth of every person and faith in the power of love to overcome violence and injustice.

Mission Statement

This AFSC community works to transform conditions and relationships both in the world and in ourselves, which threaten to overwhelm what is precious in human beings. We nurture the faith that conflicts can be resolved nonviolently, that enmity can be transformed into friendship, strife into cooperation, poverty into well-being, and injustice into dignity and participation.

Would you recommend American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)?

by Robert S. (February 20, 2010)
I have contacted them regarding a human rights issue on three occasions. Once by phone and 2 times by email with no response from them (AFSC). I will give a neutral rating because there might be reasons why there has been no response. I was hoping that this organization would be my one last hope to either help my friend or become active in trying to change the situation that has caused the dilema.
