JustWorks
JustWorks camps develop skills
Through JustWorks camps, participants work directly with people in local communities on direct-service projects, learning about human-rights issues firsthand.
Short-term (usually week-long) projects help participants examine and understand the root causes and damaging effects of injustice, with an eye to promoting intercultural understanding. Participants are taught advocacy skills for addressing issues of poverty, discrimination, and racism in their own communities.
JustWorks camps have become a powerful way for people of all ages and backgrounds to put their values into action. Since 1996, UUSC has operated dozens of JustWorks camps in the United States and around the world, providing hands-on learning for more than 2,000 participants.
Group JustWorks projects
UUSC encourages congregations and nonprofit organizations to participate together, as a group, in a JustWorks camp. By participating in a group JustWorks camp, your congregation or organization has the opportunity to bring greater awareness and understanding to local social-justice issues. Groups can even develop their own custom JustWorks camps. Please download the "Letter of Inquiry" for more details on how to begin planning a JustWorks camp today. If you have any questions, please contact us.

 I guess it is kind of ironic that the city of masquerades, of putting
masks over your true face to have a good time, is truly a masquerade. You have the
well-off party district of the French Quarter; and you have the Katrina-battered and government-ignored Ninth Ward.
