Department Overviews
Look through JEP's different core and ambassador teams and see if any spark your interest!
Departments
Outreach
The Outreach team plans events, fundraisers, webinars, and much more along with taking care of more organizational tasks for JEP such as onboarding newcomers. Members are able to join different task forces working on different projects. They may join multiple task forces or come up with an idea to start their own and work to implement it.
Social Media
The Social Media team will post consistent content on our three platforms: Instagram, Tiktok, and Twitter. Members are encouraged to have some graphic design or social media management experience, as well as a willingness to commit to designing a post and/or posting a TikTok on a weekly basis.
Research
An exclusive, expanded department of individuals with experience doing research. They are responsible for finding the credible information needed for the social media platforms, website articles, independent research studies, and petitions. It includes 3 specific task forces: social media, current events summaries, and op-eds. Members of the research team should have experience in writing or research.
Graphic Design
A group of those experienced with graphic design to help with either of the following:
-
Designing our website, justiceeducationproject.org

Designing the layout and graphics for the monthly newsletter being sent out, as well as other projects being undertaken
-
Current projects: School Assembly Toolkit and an E-Book that will be coming out in a couple of months

Designing new social media templates to be used on the social media accounts.
Finance
The Finance team will be responsible for finding philanthropists and donors, as well as applying for grants, communicating with our fiscal sponsor, and coordinating/planning our monthly fundraisers.
Ambassador
