VOLUNTEER WITH US
We run a quarterly two-part virtual volunteer orientation training.
The first training is a 90m Intro to CWNYC, which covers a brief history of mass incarceration & abolition, the NYC court system, why court watching is important and how you can get involved. After this training, you can provide court support for individuals in criminal court, sign up for our second, more tactical #BailWatch training, join our study group, our signal community and our events! Our next virtual Intro Training is October 14th, from 7:30-9pm. You can sign up here.
The second training is a tactical #BailWatch training, which goes into detail on the logistics of how to join our criminal court arraignments watching campaign. After you have completed that training, you can also sign up for arraignments watching shifts and/or help with logistics!
If you’re interested in learning more about criminal court watching in NYC, we’d love to hear from you! Please sign up for our mailing list, or email us at info@courtwatchnyc.org if you have specific questions.
