Call for Volunteers and Organizational Support: CCEJ needs You!

Want to reconnect with us? We need community volunteers to help strengthen and restructure CCEJ.

CCEJ has a number of volunteer opportunities for individuals or groups who are interested in working for environmental justice. These opportunities cover a wide spectrum of tasks and projects, from day-to-day administrative work to long term, campaign-specific projects. We also periodically have internships available for undergraduate and graduate students, depending on the time of year. Opportunities are updated on a regular basis, so keep an eye out for opportunities you’re interested in!

If interested in student internships or long-term service learning projects, please contact the office with your time availability, skills and topic interests
