🔑 Key facts

• Volunteer role for a high-impact, grassroots climate action community
• Commitment: ~5 hours / month + attend our monthly Climate Writers sessions on Sundays (4 hours). Minimum 12 months (starting May 2026).
• Sydney-based (Gadigal / Bidjigal / Dharawal country)

Climate Writers is a grassroots community that empowers everyday Australians to become lifelong advocates for the environment and their local community. Starting out as living room gatho’s with friends, we have since grown into a community of 400+ people, who have sent 700+ personalised letters to politicians on climate action, met with dozens of MPs, and contributed to a policy paper presented to the NSW Minister. Through monthly gatho’s, we aim to elevate the conversation about climate to a massive and sustained scale that is impossible for all politicians to ignore.

​

You’re also welcome to come to our next gatho on Sun 19 April in Redfern 😊
