Do you want to take part in vegan volunteering around your local area?
You can do that – right here at The Vegan Society.
We have an ever-growing Community Network of vegans just like you, who have a passion to volunteer and promote veganism where they live.
Every month, our Network choose from a range of outreach tasks. These could include town centre stalls, writing to a councillor or MP, sharing our campaigns on social media or contacting local businesses. You're in control of how much or how little you do.
As an Advocate, you will have a network of other Advocates and an Organiser in your area. Your Organiser will be your main point of contact. They will send you tasks every month and ask you to feed back on what you've completed and any positive outcomes.
Why do we need you to volunteer?
As the vegan community grows, veganism itself becomes better understood. We're finding that more people are looking to The Vegan Society to find out what being vegan is all about.
Local communities are starting to see the vegan movement as something real and something that’s happening in their area. More people are embracing a vegan lifestyle, which we welcome. From new businesses, to families, to councillors, many people need support. This could be with a range of topics: going vegan, finding correct information around a vegan diet, providing vegan options in their business, MPs listening to vegan constituents, and learning about our work.
Local issues are often unique and more varied than national issues. Our volunteers from local areas are vital! They enable us to share our messages and campaigns in an effective way. Research tells us that people are far more likely to trust information from a peer rather than an outside expert, so community volunteering vastly increases the impact of our campaigns.
Our network of committed local vegans across the country is growing! The Vegan Society organises various outreach activities to influence change in every level of society. There are a range of activities going on all the time, from general educational stalls at events to meeting with local policy influencers.
Advocates are a crucial voice in their own community. They ensure that our campaign messages are spread far and wide. They provide a strong vegan presence in local communities.
What does the Advocate role involve?
Being an Advocate for veganism with The Vegan Society will mean communicating with people in your local community. You'll share the benefits of a vegan lifestyle. You will form part of a local group, headed up by a local Organiser. The Organiser will feed back your collective efforts to staff. You will also be invited to our private Facebook group, for vegan socialising and ideas sharing.
You’ll stay in touch with the Organiser and bring your passion to tasks. Activities can range from staffing a stall to giving a talk at an employee event. It could also mean writing to a local newspaper or lobbying an MP.
Messaging can differ every month. Part of our mission statement is to ensure people can remain vegan, so you might focus on getting more vegan options available in local businesses. Or within our Live Vegan for Less campaign, you may share cheap vegan recipes to help people with the cost of living.
When acting as an Advocate, you will use The Vegan Society’s branding and messaging guidelines. Your local Organiser will guide you in doing this, as they hold physical resources and handbooks. You can report any issues and feedback you have to your Organiser. You can also contact staff if your Organiser isn't available or you have any problems.
What training and support is available?
You will be provided with a big welcome and full induction from your local Organiser. They will introduce you to the group and any actions that are ongoing. Any training and development will be provided via your Organiser, and you can also ask for specific training on any areas that you need some development in.
What skills would be useful in doing this role?
- The ability to stay motivated in order to achieve the best possible outcomes
- Good email etiquette, responding in a timely manner
- Committed to veganism and the mission of The Vegan Society
- Ability to stay calm if confronted with differing opinions or challenges
- A good communicator, with the ability to be persuasive
- Confident in communicating with people from a range of backgrounds
- Experience of campaigning
- Any experience in talking with members of the public through customer/public service would be helpful
- Awareness of current affairs, especially those that relate to veganism
- Regular availability and a willingness to stay committed to actions
- Good team player
How much time do I need to invest?
For Advocates, we ask for people to engage in a minimum of four to six actions per year. An example of an action could be writing to an MP or holding a stall. But the more you can do, the better! On occasion, there may also be online meetings to plan for actions or provide training.

Programs Officer
Reports to: Programs Director
Position Summary
Wekume is seeking a highly organized, analytical, and detail-oriented Program Officer to serve as the primary technical support to the Programs Director. While the Programs Director provides the strategic vision, leadership, and core ideas for the organization, the Program Officer is responsible for the technical formalization of these concepts.
The ideal candidate will excel at "putting ideas on paper"—transforming high-level strategies into structured program documents, logical frameworks, grant proposals, and analytical reports. You will be the bridge between visionary strategy and operational excellence.
Key Responsibilities
1. Program Design & Documentation (The "Technical Architect")
- Concept Formalization: Translate the Programs Director’s strategies and verbal ideas into formal project concept notes and full-scale program documents.
- Framework Development: Design Logical Frameworks (LogFrames), Theories of Change, and Work Breakdown Structures (WBS) for all upcoming initiatives.
- Proposal Writing: Assist in drafting and refining technical proposals for donors, ensuring all organizational "missing gaps" in documentation are filled professionally.
- Standardization: Create templates and standardized operating procedures (SOPs) for program implementation.
2. Analytical Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E)
- Indicator Design: Define Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that align with the Director’s goals to measure program success accurately.
- Data Analysis: Analyze field data and project outcomes to provide the Director with actionable insights and "the story behind the numbers."
- Technical Reporting: Produce sophisticated monthly, quarterly, and annual impact reports that meet international donor standards.
3. Operational Planning & Budgeting
- Operationalizing Strategy: Convert broad annual plans into detailed monthly/weekly execution plans for field teams.
- Technical Budgeting: Collaborate with the Director to align program activities with cost-effective budgets, ensuring financial projections match project logic.
- Compliance Oversight: Ensure all drafted programs adhere to local statutory requirements and specific donor compliance mandates.
4. Strategic Support & Coordination
- Briefing the Director: Regularly brief the Programs Director on project health, identifying potential bottlenecks before they occur.
- Team Technical Lead: Act as a resource for Project Officers and volunteers, providing them with the "paperwork" and structures they need to succeed in the field.
- Stakeholder Synthesis: Prepare presentation decks and briefing papers for the Director to use in high-level stakeholder and donor meetings.
Required Qualifications & Specialty Skills
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Project Management, Development Studies, Statistics, Social Sciences, or a related field.
- Writing Excellence: Exceptional ability to write professional program documents, including the ability to visualize data and concepts.
- Analytical Rigor: Proficiency in M&E frameworks and the ability to conduct qualitative and quantitative analysis.
- Software Proficiency: Advanced skills in Microsoft Word, Excel (for budgeting/data), and project management tools (e.g., MS Project).
- Experience: At least 2–3 years of experience in a role that required significant "behind-the-scenes" program design or grant writing.
Core Competencies for this Specific Role
- Synthesizing Logic: The ability to listen to a vision and immediately see the steps required to make it a reality on paper.
- Attention to Detail: A "perfectionist" approach to documentation and reporting.
- Adaptability: Ability to report to a visionary leader and provide the technical "anchor" to ensure ideas are sustainable and measurable.
