Volunteer & Community Engagement

CLJSS organizes volunteer opportunities each semester so members can support the community while building experience, leadership, and connections outside the classroom. Volunteer events are open to all members and are designed to be accessible, group-based, and consistent throughout the year.

What you get

• Organized group volunteer events each semester (community events and campus/community partners)

• A reliable way to earn service hours and build experience for resumes and applications

• Opportunities to meet members outside of GBMs and strengthen community within CLJSS

• Clear sign-ups, reminders, and logistics shared in one place through the volunteer group

Why it matters

Community engagement is a core part of CLJ work. Volunteering helps members stay grounded in the communities impacted by the justice system while developing professional skills—communication, teamwork, accountability, and leadership—that translate directly to internships and future careers.

How it works

1. Join the CLJSS Volunteer GroupMe for announcements and sign-ups

2. RSVP when volunteer opportunities are posted (spots may be limited)

3. Show up as a group and support the event/community partner

4. Service hours and follow-up details will be shared after each event when applicable
