Do you want to increase your environmental knowledge and receive specialist training on sustainability issues and engaging with visitors? If so, here is an exciting opportunity to get involved!
The Jubilee building at Queenswood is being transformed into a new, part time hub which will be an information and educational resource, highlighting global sustainability issues and showcasing local ideas and solutions to the climate and ecological crisis. Themed exhibitions, literature, films and workshops will highlight different areas of sustainable development, sharing information and creating conversations about what we can do locally.
SFC volunteers will be in direct contact with visitors to the centre, directing people around the exhibits if needed and engaging in conversation about the issues / solutions being showcased.
Main Tasks:
- Welcoming visitors to the centre and providing information about the current exhibition / films / workshops being shown.
