"Working
as a volunteer gave me the opportunity to see how a Non-Governmental
Organisation works, to get to know Friends of the Earth and some
of the staff and to gain some relevant experience as well as
helping me to keep my environmental knowledge up to date. Not being
a paid member of staff was never a problem - I was treated professionally
and given opportunities to go on training courses and improve
my skills."
Hannah Griffiths, Living World Campaign
Assistant [ex-volunteer]
As a volunteer, you can make new friends and meet like-minded people. You will develop new skills, gain valuable work experience, and learn about environmental issues. You can play an important part in the success of a leading environmental pressure group.
"I've made some lovely new friends and gained a good knowledge of the basics of fundraising as well as improving my IT skills"
