Volunteers play an essential role in creating a clean energy future, protecting wild spaces and promoting local food sustainability. Volunteers do this in many different ways such as fundraising, event planning, delivering food baskets, data entry and more! Training is always provided making this a great way to learn new skills.

Volunteers take on many different roles. You can be: 

A Fundraiser:

As a non-profit, donations and fundraising is an important part of keeping campaigns going. Help raise money by organizing a fundraiser. Or support one of our annual fundraisers such as the electric bike raffle, the ski movie night or membership drive, gift and food deliveries. 

A Deep Canvasser:

Deep canvassing is one of the only tactics proven to change people’s minds for the long term. We are having meaningful conversations over the phone with folks in Trail, BC, about the transition to 100% renewable energy, learning their hopes and fears, and connecting on our shared Kootenay values. Join our team and have the most meaningful conversations of your life. 

A Data Monkey:

Helping us build our support and get in touch with the community by entering petition signatures into our database. No experience needed.

An (Eco Correspondent) Communicator: 

We use Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and the EcoSociety blog to connect with our supporters. If you have ideas for content, growing our following or are interested in writing a blog post let us know. 

A Community Educator:

Help us build community! EcoSociety volunteers attend many community events to share information and collect petition signatures. 

A Phone Banker:

At key moments in our campaigns, we need phone supporters. This is a very effective strategy and incredibly rewarding. For example in the 2015 federal election volunteers made 1000s of Get Out to Vote calls and helped to vote in an MP who cares about environmental issues. 

A Knowledge Philanthropist:

Do you have a skill, experience or knowledge you can share? Some people volunteer in specific roles related to their skill base. For example, a graphic designer helps us to create promotional material, and a handyman helps us fix things around the office. Let us know what your skills are and how you would like to contribute. Maybe you have experience organizing, writing, managing social media, the possibilities are endless!
