Community Liaison Volunteer
Project Overview
We need volunteers to help us communicate with the local community about our projects and things going on within their area. Sometimes we need to send out a poster or leaflet recruiting volunteers for a particular event or to tell local residents about an upcoming project. We’d also like volunteers to help raise the profile of Action 21 in Warwick District by talking about us and what we do.
Volunteer tasks
• Visiting community centres, schools, churches, mosques, day centres, hostels, libraries and anywhere that people congregate to put up posters or leaflets or just to have a chat to spread information by word of mouth.
• Speaking to staff and community leaders about Action 21 projects or local green events.
• Putting up posters in community venues and on community notice boards
• Giving leaflets to people interested in volunteering
Skills/previous experience sought
• No particular experience or skills are required as full training and support will be provided
• A familiarity of the local area is desirable but not essential.
Benefits of volunteering:
• This volunteering opportunity gives you a chance to promote sustainability and Action 21, whilst visiting local community venues and finding out what else is going on in the area. If you don’t have a bicycle we can lend you an Action 21 bicycle to help you get around.
• Expenses: We believe that volunteers should not be out of pocket for donating their time and effort and so we pay back all volunteers’ reasonable travel expenses & there’s tea, coffee & biscuits on tap.
Times needed:
Variable. This role can be very flexible, fitting in with your diary, although it should be noted that some community venues are only open during office hours and so this may limit when you can help out.
Minimum age: 18
Location: Variable
