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 at justice@ccej.org with your time availability, skills and topic interests.

If you do not live in the Seattle area but would like to volunteer, or if you do and would like to help us from home, telecommuting is also an option.

If you would like to volunteer, please fill out the Volunteer application and return the completed form to board member Alice Park, our Volunteer Coordinator, via mail, fax or email.

Thank you!
