Climate Champion Volunteer

We are looking for volunteers to help plan and deliver events and training in Kirkcaldy and Fife.
Our events aim to get the climate conversations going through interactive, thought provoking and fun activities. They may be on a particular climate theme or may be general climate change awareness raising events. In the past we have delivered climate cafes, film screenings, staycation pop-up events and attended family fun days. Climate Champion volunteers help us to design and deliver these events.
We would also like you to help deliver our climate change training sessions to community groups.
Our events and training take place in-person and online.
You do not need to be a climate expert – we will provide training to get you up to speed. A little understanding of how individual choices can impact global warming would be helpful (e.g. driving/flying less, reusing, buying local etc).
