RESPONDING BOLDLY TO THE NEEDS OF THE TIME
What We Do
Accola welcomes neighbors, cultivates community, and fosters justice through programs that contribute to more equitable communities. Accola grew out of the work of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet. Our name translates to "neighbor" in Latin, and just as good neighbors look out for one another, Accola responds to the needs of our communities, addressing pressing issues with empathy and action.
