The Center for Community Justice.  Whether you like being a voice for children in Family Court, ensuring the safety of children in our Supervised Visitation program, working in a team to identify opportunities to hold offenders accountable, helping people to work through disputed issues, or prefer working at a computer or answering the phone, we can use your skills and talent

After a brief orientation and training, new volunteers become familiar with The Center for Community Justice. Volunteers learn about the vital role they will play in helping The Center for Community Justice fulfill its mission of providing programs and services dedicated to community-based remedies in the pursuit of peaceful resolutions, accountability and justice.

Regular volunteers receive the satisfaction of knowing that they have touched the lives of children and adults in a positive way and have made a difference in their community.

We rely on volunteers for leadership and hands-on support in many areas of operation. It’s the strength of the volunteer spirit that allows us to do so much for so little.
