Climate justice workshop facilitator

Are you a young person aged 18-30, passionate about climate change, and want to ignite, inspire and support young people to take positive action? Help us deliver climate justice workshops to schools in London.

What You'll Do: 

We have interactive workshops designed by UKYCC to be delivered by young people for young people, that introduce secondary school students to climate justice. The two-hour workshop covers what climate justice is, how to cope with feelings of eco-anxiety, and how to take action by supporting them with a school-focused campaign. The teachers will be present throughout the workshop to support you in the delivery of the workshop and managing the behaviour of their students.

 

All the training you need to deliver the climate justice workshop, including classroom management skills, and how to facilitate group discussions amongst young people. Become part of our network of volunteers who are passionate about making a positive change in the climate space.

Why You'll Love It: 

To build upon your knowledge of climate justice; to build experience in climate change education; to  engage, inspire and support young people; to develop your skills, confidence and experience in public speaking, engagement and facilitation; to be part of a high energy volunteer team, supporting each other within climate justice efforts; to strengthen your CV through volunteer participation.

 

Testimonial from a VFF volunteer: “VFF has been one of the best organisationsI’ve volunteered for; there are monthly socials which have been a great way to get to know other people with similar interests, there is plenty of notice and preparation for each workshop, and everyone is so friendly.” - Sarah M. Climate Justice volunteer at VFF

What You'll Learn: 

You will:

  1. Build upon your knowledge of climate justice and the role young people can play in taking positive action
  2. Build experience in sustainability work and climate education 
  3. Be able to directly engage with, inspire and support young people and teachers
  4. Develop your skills, confidence and experience in public speaking, engagement and facilitation
  5. Be part of a high energy volunteer team, checking-in and supporting each other in navigating the weight of climate change, and the vital work of climate justice
  6. Have a fun, enjoyable, educational and rewarding experience
  7. Strengthen your CV with volunteer certification and as a future reference
What We're Looking For: 

Young people (aged between 18-30 years old) who are personable, have great energy and can approach the topic of climate justice with a positive and energising mindset, are passionate about building a better world for our communities, wildlife and the environment, are motivated and enthusiastic about working towards climate justice, and want to support young people to be heard. We strongly encourage applications from people of colour, LGBTQIA+ candidates, individuals from marginalised genders, disabled people, people on low income, and people of faith.

 

We are looking to recruit volunteers who are willing to support us for 4-6 hours per month during the week. We understand that volunteering is dependent on your availability - if the 4-6 hrs monthly time commitment doesn’t work for you, we have other volunteer roles and we can discuss suitable adjustments.
