Call for volunteers at Amplifi - join us!

Listed below are details of the different roles and areas in which we require support, seeking skills from administration to project management to finance and more. Life is very full and time is precious but with lots of us, each taking on small chunks of this important work, we can achieve great things.

If you feel able to take on any of the responsibilities listed here or simply would like some more detail, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with jenny@yoyodesign.com. Please help us to continue this important work, for our community and for our planet. We know that we will go faster if we work together. 

Within each sector:
(The Amplifi team is full of businesses that have sustainability on their agendas but this can mean very different things depending on what type of business you are. We have created sector groups to keep discussions and actions as focused and constructive as possible.)  

1. Reporter: Take notes and actions from the quarterly meetings, circulate to the group and liaise with the Amplifi team to get them online. 4-5 hours every quarter 

2. Promoter: Seek out interesting, best practice stories from across the sector and work with the Amplifi team to promote these. This helps to boost awareness of what we’re doing, inspire others and promote local businesses. 8-10 hours per month

3. Recruiter: Seek out other businesses in your sector to join Amplifi. 8-10 hours per month 

Within Amplifi: 

1. 3-6 x special projects volunteers: There are lots of ideas coming out across the Amplifi community (see below) and we are looking for 3-6 volunteers to make these a reality. 8-10 hours per month 

2. 3 x writers: We are looking for writers to help bring information and stories to the Amplifi community. 5-10 hours per month

Special projects
