Mission

St.JanCo: "The St. John Heritage Collective" is a grassroots initiative aiming to establish a community land trust on the island of St. John for sustainable public use. As a coalition of concerned stakeholders in our community, we aim to acquire, manage, and provide land and resources in support of the establishment of a vocational school, affordable housing, civic spaces, community gardens, art cooperatives, and ethical commerce. Our model of grassroots community organizing around social, political, and economic issues aims to preserve the identity, culture, and histories of the people of St. John while innovatively preparing for a self-determined future.
