As a Climate Ambassador, you would be joining thousands of volunteers supporting the Department for Education’s Sustainability and Climate Change Strategy, launched in 2022.
Climate Ambassadors offer free support to nurseries, schools and colleges across England to develop and implement a climate action plan. This framework helps education settings evaluate and address key action areas – adaptation and mitigation, biodiversity, climate education and green careers, and decarbonisation.
If you have:
-
A desire to create coordinated impact in your local community, while utilising your employer’s volunteering leave (where applicable);
-
Knowledge about the sustainability and climate challenges facing the world;
-
Familiarity with education settings, or the ability to inspire senior leaders, educators and young people to set out on their sustainability journey;
-
A growth and mentorship mindset to help education communities begin or progress with their climate action plan,
… then join the growing community of Climate Ambassadors and embed climate action where it matters most!
You will receive training, guidance and regular communications from our regional teams to make the most of the climate action opportunities on your doorstep. You can get started by volunteering just 2 hours a year.
How can you become a Climate Ambassador?
- Complete an initial interest form and your regional team will be in touch to support your registration on the STEM Learning platform;
- Receive induction, your DBS check and your Climate Ambassador training;
- Identify activities you would like to support and post about them on the STEM Learning platform, or browse activities requested by your local schools!
Your regional team will get in touch suggesting a good match to a local setting seeking support relating to your area of interest or experience. You can also upskill through the Sustainability Leadership Programme to unlock new areas of expertise.
Please note: STEM Learning UK host Climate Ambassador profiles on their website, which requires you to register as a STEM Ambassador. Your profile will be processed as a Climate Ambassador upon selecting ‘Climate’ as your area of interest during registration.
