CCSJ Student Staff 2011 - 2012

The student staff in the Center for Community Service and Justice is an essential part of the office and acts as the “hands and feet” of all the community service programming, coordination, recruiting and education for members of the Loyola community. There are four types of student positions with differing responsibilities:

• Service Coordinator
• Creative Assistant
• Student Assistant

Service Coordinator (SC)

Service Coordinators are part-time paid staff who help students connect with a service opportunity. They also organize training and orientation sessions, facilitate reflection about service experiences and help make transportation arrangements.

Creative Assistant (CA)
ccsjpub@loyola.edu

These students' primary roles are generating, revising and further enhancing publicity materials of the Center as necessary.  This includes maintaining an adequate stock of publicity materials, and being assigned to specific project tasks by the fulltime staff and service coordinators. The main goal is to support CCSJ in striving to establish an identity of commitment to service in the Loyola community.

Student Assistant (SA)
