After Climate Advocate Training, you are encouraged to connect with your local chapter and jump right in getting involved. Additionally, you are invited to attend CCL’s Core Volunteer Training Series so you can learn specifics in the many ways you can take your climate leadership to the next level with CCL.
We will not only teach you about Citizens’ Climate Lobby’s methods and visions but also inspire you to find your role so you can hit the ground running. Join CCL marches, trips to DC, or informational events to promote legislation that addresses climate change.
Share your knowledge of construction and guide program participants in learning new skills and serve as a role model and mentor.
Volunteers can assist in checking out customers, answering phones, scheduling deliveries, stocking shelves, setting up displays, unloading donations, sorting materials, and pricing donated materials.
Volunteers can spread their knowledge and expertise of antiques, doors, electrical equipment and materials, hardware, lumber, plumbing, or yard maintenance.
