Get involved with Sustainability at Greenwich

TLDRoffon

We are excited to announce that we have launched a new Green Volunteer Programme. The Green Volunteer Programme brings together passionate people to exchange ideas and create change together.

At Greenwich we take our environmental responsibilities seriously and are motivated by the ability to empower change when we act together; from the smallest individual action to life changing research. We are proud of our sustainability commitments and have maintained our First Class Award in the People & Planet’s University Green League since 2012. We have also committed to achieve Net Zero Carbon by 2030.

What do Green Volunteers do?

Green Volunteers will join staff members and assist them in different sustainability projects as their volunteering experience. Students will be supporting staff in managing social media platforms, clothes swap events or work in our Edible Garden.

For more information, please see the job description of each role on this page.

What are the benefits of being a Green Volunteer?

  • Develop sustainability skills and build your CV
  • Make friends and connections with likeminded students
  • Help make change happen in UoG
  • Receive recognition for your achievements
  • Have fun!

This programme is for everyone and you don’t have to know anything about sustainability. The aim of this programme is to gather passionate people, exchange ideas and create change together.
