Get Involved

    With a small staff, SFIWJ relies on volunteers & grassroots leaders.
    Whether you want to volunteer occasionally or on a weekly or
    monthly basis, your involvement will make a difference for workers
    seeking justice. If you're interested in volunteering, please let us
    know by submitting our volunteer form.

    SFIWJ needs volunteers for:

    Office Work: Help us communicate with our members & keep the
    organization running smoothly by helping with data entry, phones
    calls to members, & mailings.

    Activism: Press business owners & government leaders to treat
    workers fairly by joining in prayer vigils, rallies, & informing people
    about problems workers at particular business are having.

    Worker Education: Help SFIWJ reach out to workers to inform them
    of their rights by talking to workers at job sites, or, if you speak
    Spanish, Creole, or a Mayan language, by training workers on their
    rights at evening or weekend meetings.

    Event Organizing: Help organize events such as SFIWJ's annual
    Labor In the Pulpits series, Harvest Suppers, and other presentations
    and activities.

    Join a group:  There are also various projects & groups that
    volunteers can work on and with including wage theft, farmworker
    issues, women's leadership, and more.
