The UUCSJ Volunteer Program is designed to be a powerful opportunity for individuals who are willing to lend their time, compassion, and skills to leave a meaningful impact with one of our partner organizations; however, this volunteer program also provides a framework to help volunteers deepen their understanding of systems of injustice and reflecting on one’s personal connection to justice work.
How UUCSJ understands volunteering:
- We strive to place the needs of our partners first
- We strive to move at the speed of trust
- We strive to constantly reflect on and dismantle the saviorism often inherent in cross-cultural volunteer work
