Climate for Change (C4C) is a grassroots volunteer-powered non-profit on a mission to create the social climate for effective action on climate change in Australia.
What does that mean? Our vision is for an Australia in which climate action is a top priority. Community, business and government unite to make the courageous and urgent changes needed to return us to a safe climate.
Social research tells us that having lots of quality conversations about climate change is one of the most effective things we can do to stop it. Climate for Change volunteer facilitators are key to making such conversations happen at a scale large enough to really shift the social climate on climate change in Australia.
We are the only organisation in Australia specifically focused on helping people to have better discussions with their peers on climate change – something that is now recognised by experts as key to building public support for action on climate change.
We are excited to offer a Climate Conversations Bootcamp to build the capacity of up to 40 passionate people across Australia.
The twelve week volunteer program involves weekly online training sessions, where you learn essential skills for talking about climate change effectively with others. By the completion of the program, you put these skills to immediate effect as facilitators of climate communications within your communities.
Our weekly training sessions, taught both in-house and by expert guest speakers, cover the following topics:
Given this program is run online, we also require all participants to have access to a laptop or computer, with good internet connection.

All of this should amount to a maximum of 3 to 4 volunteer hours per week over the twelve weeks.

Please contact Mike at [email protected], using the subject line: Climate Conversations Facilitator Bootcamp (Voluntary) - Remote / Flexible location enquiry via EthicalJobs, to enquire about this if the price is a barrier.
