Arts and environmental activism: ONE-On-ONE leadership volunteer

Arts and Environmental Activism: ONE On ONE Leadership Volunteer Opportunity

Join to apply for this role at Art Works For Change
. Our museum‑quality exhibitions are hosted by fine art institutions all over the world. The artists we feature educate the public and foster dialogue through the unique voice of contemporary art. Each exhibition is complemented by local educational and outreach opportunities at each destination, building critical mass for social action and leaving behind a legacy of local activism. We also feature online exhibitions and educational programming on multiple platforms to broaden the reach and connect with new audiences.

Art Works For Change is a nonprofit organization that creates contemporary art exhibitions and storytelling projects to address critical social and environmental issues.

We recently launched a new storytelling project that helps people visualize the impact of global warming and the pathways to solving the climate crisis. As part of this project, we have created a one‑on‑one volunteer opportunity for high school and college students focused on environmental leadership. Volunteers will learn about climate policies, advocacy techniques, and the role of storytelling in promoting engagement.

In addition to learning about climate activism, volunteers will help develop creative storytelling experiences to spur action on climate change. These experiences may include climate‑themed games, interactive stories, music compositions, poetry, and similar forms of creative expression, which we will roll out in partnership with grassroots environmental organizations.

Your role would be to participate in this virtual one‑on‑one volunteer opportunity and to develop creative approaches to activating your local community. This program is designed for high school and college students. Remote volunteers are happily accepted. Please tell us something about yourself in your application.
