Did you miss Waltham Group Recruitment Night? Don't fret! The Waltham Group is a student-led community service organization and is the primary student service outreach at Brandeis University. The Waltham Group was founded in 1966 in response to student activism and in recognition of the university's responsibility to be engaged in the community. Hundreds of students volunteer each year through the Waltham Group, which serves as a center for service and advocacy.
To learn how to get involved with the Waltham Group, you can email the Waltham Group Volunteer Engagement Coordinator at wg-engagement@brandeis.edu. You can also reach out to any of our 19 subprograms by visiting the Waltham Group website and contacting the student coordinators for that program. We hope to see you volunteering with us this year!

Apply to be a Research Intern for the Non-Profit Pa' Arriba!
Pa’Arriba Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose primary purpose is to identify and implement innovative prevention and treatment methodologies, community-based support interventions and networked solutions that reduce violence in the home, school and society at large that can be replicated at a large scale and across geographical boundaries.
Founded originally by the directors of two Ecuadorian grass-roots organizations that had developed unique methodologies for denormalizing violence in their own society, Pa’Arriba has now taken on a life of its own. Although we continue to support work in Ecuador through a local chapter (currently under formation), we are now beginning to expand our impact by applying the lessons learned to co-create a culture of peace in the US as well as throughout the Spanish-speaking world.
Pa'Arriba is seeking bilingual (Spanish-English) writers and communications intern who wants to help us put an end to domestic violence and build stronger communities in the US and Ecuador! Your passion for writing and knowledge of social networks can make a real difference! Blog publishing opportunity! The research internship is virtual and lasts for the entire academic year.
If you are interested contact info@paarriba.org or see the Handshake Job Posting #3820334 Communications and Research Internship.
