Leadership Opportunities

The Community Action and Awareness Team (CAAT) is a group of student leaders who work to raise awareness about social and environmental justice issues and to provide direct service opportunities both on and off campus. We typically hire our leadership staff in the fall. We can always put volunteers to work. If you are interested in developing your leadership skills through service then please let us know. We would love to work with you! Our group strives to collaborate with the Willamette University community. Let us know if you have an idea or event we can help with.

Volunteer to help create the Tunnel of Oppression. This is an impactful art installation done by students for the benefit of not only their peers, but of the larger community as a whole. Displayed in four rooms are topics of oppression represented in multi-media. Topics are completely student chosen and driven, letting individual voices come across in a broad medium to speak out. It's is hoped that visitors will come away not only more aware of the world that we live in, but inspired to take action towards a better tomorrow. Contributing to the Tunnel by either leading a room, or just helping at the door, can not only broaden your personal understanding of the issues featured, but help you bring the message on a individual level back to your peers.

Multiple leadership opportunities exist across campus. The leadership website assist you in determining application deadlines, accessing the letter of recommendation form, and determining if you can hold multiple positions at once.

We will be developing a listing of conferences and workshops you can attend related to service, social and environmental justice, and leadership. If you know of opportunities other students might want to hear about please email us at service@willamette.edu and we will post them.
