Keen, committed voluntary staff have always played a vital role in Greenpeace.
As a volunteer you'll have the opportunity to join a local or fundraising community group, be involved in campaign actions or perhaps help out in one of the Greenpeace offices.
If
you have particular skills and/or interests we can discuss how to
incorporate these into your voluntary work. We sometimes use volunteers
to assist in research, local actions, fundraising, information
technology or as tradespeople. Ways you can volunteer:
Get active, join a Greenpeace local group Greenpeace
local groups help Greenpeace's global and national environmental
campaigns through public outreach, letter-writing, lobbying, research
and participation in non-violent direct actions. Local groups meet
regularly to share campaign updates, plan activities and participate in
training. Find out more
