We need to reach the people who are already worried about climate change, but not sure how to help, and help them get started. Our solution: a focus on low-barrier, high-impact climate action that creates hope and builds momentum for systemic change. We focus on civic engagement, business action, and raising awareness of the multitude of climate actions available to people.We have one general manager, 5 part-time contractors, and around 10 volunteers. Together we work to raise awareness for systemic climate action and encourage people to get started on their climate journeys, through action-focused weekly newsletters, social media content, and activation workshops. We are proud to work with over 7 councils across Aotearoa and many organisations to run climate workshops nationwide with a network of facilitators, which in part helps to fund the operation of our charity.Ideal applicantsWe are looking for 2-3 Trustees to complement our team.
