Development Coordinator

Since 1963, Confluence Rising (formerly CCEJ) has been building a world where people

live free of oppression and thrive. Our mission is to educate and empower youth and

adults to lead change for equity and justice in our communities. At Confluence Rising ,

we lead people of all backgrounds in deep examinations of power and privilege at the

personal and societal levels, inspiring them to build community across differences and

work together to advance equity, inclusion and justice. Our programs incorporate

Restorative Justice practices to support youth and adults to increase their resiliency

and ability to address identity -based conflict.

Confluence Rising uses these core values to guide our work and organizational culture.
