  • Cares deeply about supporting others to step up into leadership.

This opportunity is ideal for entry-level organisers. Students, candidates with little organising experience, and those new to the community are encouraged to apply. Passion for climate action, a positive attitude and good work ethic are the most important attributes for the role.
