Australian Climate Change Education Network (ASCENT)
Events Coordinator (Volunteer)
Part Time


Throughout history university students have represented a key group which drives social change. It is for this reason that it is important that university students are engaged in creating the climate change solution. However, research demonstrates that while many students are concerned about climate change, they are unclear as to how they can get involved. ASCENT organizes events for university students to educate and empower them to take action on climate change, in their own lives, their universities as well as in the broader community.

This role will involve organizing fun events that target and engage university students. Events can include: speaking tours, concerts, bar nights, trivia nights, as well as fundraising events. A successful applicant will have some autonomy in the design and implementation of events provided they are in accordance with ASCENT`s objectives.

  • Skills and attributes Event management
  • Managing volunteers
  • Liasing with funders and event partners
  • Ability to utilize web resources such as social networking sites
  • Ability to work autonomously
  • Passion to address climate change.

Candidates that have existing links with a University will be looked upon favourably. Candidates are welcome to job share. ASCENT seeks to bring this information to the average person, aiming to transform people`s concerns about global warming into action, both in terms of changing their own behaviours, as well as challenging wider community attitudes. We believe that once people are aware of the potential consequences of climate change they will seek to change not only their own lives, but the lives of those around them, and ultimately our broader society. As each one of us has an impact on our environment, every person can make a difference, including you!

Due by 7 July 2008

Friends of the Earth
Public Speaking (Volunteer)
Part Time


Would you like to be trained to provide talks to community groups on promoting climate justice and preventing runaway climate change?

FoE receives requests from a range of community groups to provide talks on climate change. These are important opportunities to increase awareness about climate justice and climate change issues, and to promote FoE's valuable work in this area.

We are inviting applications from people who would like to provide talks to community groups about these issues on FoE's behalf, on a voluntary basis (though travel expenses incurred through making presentations would be reimbursed). Successful applicants will be trained to prepare for their role, focusing on skill development in public speaking, presentation techniques, understanding climate justice and climate change issues, and responding to questions from the audience. Approximately 5 hours of training will be provided.

Successful applicants would do approximately one talk per month, and we are hoping for a commitment of at least six months. Handout material and a PowerPoint presentation (for those situations in which it is needed) will be provided by FoE for presenters to use.

To be eligible, you must be either a current or former FoE member, and/or have donated time (e.g. through volunteering on a specific task or campaign) or money to FoE. You would need to understand FoE's general principles and philosophies concerning our social justice and environmental work, and have at least a moderate understanding of climate change and climate justice issues. You don't need to be a great public speaker, but be someone who likes to communicate with people and be willing to improve your presentation skills.

If you are interested please contact Arius, arius.tolstoshev@foe.org.au asap.
