Ways to help
Where might you show up?
Volunteering can begin with a few hours, a skill you already have, or simply a willingness to learn and help.
Schools & youth
Support youth activities, peer leadership, and restorative spaces.
Outreach & community listening
Help CJC stay connected to what people and neighborhoods are experiencing.
Learning & workshops
Support practical skill-building, materials, storytelling, and learning events.
Mediation & restorative support
Help with preparation, coordination, observation, and other supported roles before direct service.
What CJC asks
Start where you are. Prepare for the role you choose.
Some volunteer roles are simple and open. Others involve confidential or sensitive work and need additional preparation, screening, training, or supervision.
CJC will make that clear before you take anything on. Exploring volunteering does not commit you to a role.
