Campaign Manager Volunteer Roles in Belfast

Volunteer and Create The Future with us!

Want to gain experience and skills on a positive and creative climate campaign?

We are looking for climate-conscious and creative volunteers who are interested in changing the narrative on climate change from climate doom and fear to hope, solidarity and empowerment instead.

Who we are

Create The Future is a UK-based and youth-led creative climate project that seeks to create a vision of a better future to empower action and inspire optimism through storytelling, education and imagination activities. Our work is based on the research of leading environmental communications agencies such as Climate Outreach and the Common Cause Foundation.

We run free activities and workshops for children, young people and adults, ranging from creative writing workshops, poetry prompts and school activities. Our flagship 'postcards from the future' activity, an imaginative art and writing exercise for children aged 5-12, helps to combat eco anxiety by helping young people to imagine the future they want to see and send a postcard back to parents, teachers and community members.

We have also published a 100+ page anthology featuring short stories, poetry, artwork and interviews, with wide-ranging contributors including Octopus Energy, Rewilding Britain, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, Lammas Ecovillage and more.
