Volunteering Opportunities
Engage with Schools & Pupils
We’ve recently launched our Climate Action Link (CAL) schools programme, which is now the core of our volunteer work. This is your chance to inspire the next generation and show that climate action can be positive and practical.
As a CAL volunteer, you can:
- Lead assemblies and workshops and interactive activities in schools across Wales
- Inspire the next generation and show students that climate action can be positive and practical
- Create materials and share your own story to motivate and inspire
- Signpost older pupils to the Youth Climate Ambassadors network
No teaching background needed — we provide resources and support.
Events and Community Action
Our volunteers are often found at festivals, fairs, and national campaigns, bringing climate action into communities across Wales. From the Great Big Green Week to local events, volunteers help us connect with thousands of people every year.
You may choose to:
- Support Climate Cymru at major events, festivals, and community gatherings
- Get involved in local projects such as community gardens and changemaker activities
- Help deliver national campaigns like the Great Big Green Week by organising events or reaching out to local communities
Skills, Training & Development
Volunteering with us is also about your personal growth. We’ll support you with training, resources, and opportunities to build transferable skills you can take into work, study, or everyday life.
You can develop skills in:
- Public speaking and facilitation
- Social media and communications
- Teamwork and networking
- Climate knowledge and advocacy
- Event organisation
Become an Ambassador
Being a Climate Cymru ambassador is slightly different to our usual volunteering routes.
As an ambassador, you’d help us:
- Raise awareness of climate issues and solutions in Wales, using your unique reach and influence.
- Inspire action by sharing your commitment to sustainability, whether through your work, public appearances, or social platforms.
- Champion diversity in the movement, ensuring that all voices, especially underrepresented ones, are part of the conversation.
Ambassadors typically:
- Allow us to feature them on our website with a 250-word bio and links to their platforms (social media, websites, etc.).
- Share occasional updates or messages about Climate Cymru’s work, like campaigns or events, with their audience, if aligned with their values.
- (Optional) Participate in high-impact moments, like signing open letters, speaking at events, or collaborating on projects that resonate with you.

Volunteer Voices
Hebron’s Green Tour Film – Great Big Green Week Tour – 2024
After joining the Great Big Green Week Green Tour, Hebron was inspired to create a powerful short film. She captured people’s hopes for Wales in 2050, a future shaped by bold, meaningful action on climate change. Along the way, she interviewed communities across Wales, weaving together a tapestry of voices filled with resilience, creativity, and optimism.
Tammie’s Great Big Green Week Video – Tammie Esslemont Climate Cymru Volunteer
For Tammie, volunteering during Great Big Green Week was a life-changing experience. She decided to make a short video to capture the people she met, the connections she made, and the sense of hope she found in being part of the movement.
