Getting Involved
From volunteering to joining our member family, there are a variety of ways to support JACL SF and our mission.
Membership
​Joining as a member shows your commitment to the JACL SF chapter and our civil rights values. It is also a great way to keep informed on our activities, as membership includes print and digital subscription to our chapter’s quarterly newsletter.
Member benefits extend to JACL’s national level, including a FREE digital subscription to the Pacific Citizen, JACL’s national newspaper. You can read more about JACL national member benefits here.
Donating
Your donation will go to support our chapter's work on fighting anti-Asian hate, protecting/preserving San Francisco Japantown, and advocating for the civil rights of all.
​
Volunteering
Join us to support our chapter mission. Volunteer at a one-time event, host a career workshop, mentor young, emerging leaders, and/or join the board! Let us know how you would like to help. We focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion in everything we do.
