Volunteering at Greenpeace UK

You could contact our US office about volunteering; otherwise I don't know what other volunteering opportunities there are in the States but they might be able to point you towards something else as well. web editor gpuk

Hi Liam,

thanks for your interest in volunteering for Greenpeace. As you may know we have lots of local groups around the country. You can see what they get up to on Groups pages At the moment the closest group to you is in Dundee (not that close, I know), but there may well be other people in your area who'd like to start a group in North East Scotland. Please email our active Supporters Unit at getactive@uk.greenpeace.org to find out more.

Cheers,

Joss

Hi I am so much impressed about the work of the greenpeace regarding the environmental issues. There are worldwide international offices in different countries. I didnot see in some developing countries like Nepal. I am glad to hear about what is being the process to include Nepal under the program of Greenpeace international. Since I am interested in campaigning in climate change being himalayan country, dur to higher impact of climate change in this region. I wish I want to involve in Voluntary work. Thanks

Hi Ive just joined my local group and wonder how I go about volunteering for Glasters? Lucy

Hi Joe,

Everone who goes on an action has to be trained first in the principles of non-violent direct action. The easiest way to get involved is to join a local group first - our groups provide the volunteers who (together with staff) make up our action teams.

To find your nearest group, just go to our communities site and type your postcode in to the search box. Then contact the groups administrator, invite yourself along to their next meeting and let them know how keen you are. Once you are NVDA trained, you'll be well on the way to playing a role at the sharp end of Greenpeace campaigning!

Thanks for your interest,

Joss

How would I go about becoming an activist for greenpeace? Is it something people do themselves for you guys or do you actually train and organize people. Every time I hear about a group of people fighting back against big companies I wish I could do it too. Thanks Joe

Hi Dani,

Thank you for your email and message of support, it’s great to hear that you’re so passionate about helping the planet.

There are a number of ways in which you can help  us.  It sounds like you’d really enjoy being a member of our  Active Supporters network. 

Unfortunately, most of the time, in order to do this, you need to be at least 18.  This is because the active supporters sometimes engage in activities of questionable legality.  However, some groups participate in different types of activity, such as running stalls, banner painting, leafleting etc.  Please contact your local group using this link.  They will let you know if there is anything you can do to help them out.  I hope they can, as your passion for the cause is invaluable to us!

I know it can be very frustrating not being able to participate in the way you want to however.  As such, if your local group cannot take you on board, could I recommend looking around at other environmental organisations?  We all have shared goals and it is best for us to cooperate with each other rather than compete!  People and Planet, for instance, do take on under 18’s. Their website is here.

If you would like to help us with online lobbying,  which involves writing emails to politicians and comany bosses, please sign up to our online campaigns here.

I do hope you find something that you can help us with and to get involved in a way that suits you, as it would be a terrible shame to lose the potential support of someone who is obviously very passionate and committed to doing something good for the world.

Thanks again for your support!
