Volunteer

 

We need you. Volunteers and interns do a great deal of the work of the ACLU of Colorado. We invite you to join these outstanding people and contribute your time and talent. No matter how little or how much time you have—from a few hours a month to several hours a week—we have important and satisfying work for you to do, either at our Denver office or in your home town.
 
Contact us at info@aclu-co.org, to volunteer for the Colorado ACLU.
 

 

Our volunteers help us in many ways, including:

 

Speakers Bureau

Qualified and trained (we will train) ACLU speakers give presentations to students, community organizations, service organizations, professional associations and a variety of other groups. Topics include Understanding the ACLU; Freedom of the Press, Speech and Assembly; Rights of Students; and Capital Punishment.
 

Administrative Support

The ACLU of Colorado accomplishes a lot with a small staff. It relies on volunteers to help organize files, manage mailings, and assist with a variety of other administrative tasks—everything it takes to run a busy office. We need reliable volunteers who will commit to work on specific days for a specific number of hours each week.

 

Internships

We need students from all disciplines, including public relations, journalism, political science and history, marketing and business to work on important and substantive projects. Students can apply for internships for fall or spring semesters.
 

Legal internships

Law students are encouraged to apply for intern positions at the ACLU of Colorado. Get more information on legal internships.

 

Special Events 

The ACLU of Colorado hosts an annual fundraising dinner and annual membership meeting, both of which require considerable volunteer help. We also participate in summer events like People’s Fair, displaying leaflets on various topics and talking to visitors about the ACLU. We also march in parades that celebrate various events, such as Martin Luther King Day, PrideFest, Cinco De Mayo and others.
