djs-leaders

The Center for DJS hosts a variety of opportunities for students to bring their knowledge, explore new skills, and serve as leaders within our community.  Students in these paid, scholarship, and volunteer roles serve as key contributors to the education, community building, activism and promotion of diversity, justice, and sustainability at PLU.  Students who work with the Center for DJS in these ways will participate in personal and professional development opportunities, work closely with the Center’s staff, and gain experiences that will contribute to their resumes and careers.

Applications are open for the 2025-2026 Academic year.
