2021/2022 Student Justice Advocate Team Member Job Description
All About the SJC:
The Student Justice Centre is your campus hub for social and political education, support, and activism! The SJC provides support to students impacted by and not limited to: racism, colonialism, transphobia, homophobia, ableism, xenophobia, ethno- religious fascism, classism, sexism, and ageism. We advocate for social justice through educative initiatives, activism support, and programming, like workshops, events, film screenings, campaigns, etc. We provide students with many free educational opportunities, access to free resources (like condoms and menstrual products), as well as student placements and opportunities for paid workshop facilitation. We also partner with student groups doing justice work to provide logistical, organizing, and financial support. The Student Justice Centre typically provides a safe space on campus where students can drop in at any time to hang out, study, connect with like-minded folks, and discuss social issues that matter most to you. Although our physical space in TH 252A is currently not open due to COVID-19, we continue to offer educational and engagement opportunities for Brock students in a digital format.
