Your role in building a greener, fairer Exeter
Use your skills & interests to build a greener, fairer Exeter
We now have six Green Councillors who are making a difference in the city. We need more Green Councillors to increase our influence and impact. To get more Greens elected, we need more people helping the support systems that make us win council seats.
Election success is fuelled by volunteers - we have no paid staff. We have jobs for everyone, from as little as an hour every couple of months, from simple 'hands-on' tasks, through to organising, research, support roles, 'gofers' - you name it, we need it. Some ideas are below, but there are plenty of others.
If you are interested in one or more of the roles below, you don't have to jump in feet first - we positively encourage new volunteers to take their time to find out what they enjoy, and to shadow existing volunteers
If you are interested and want to find out more please email hello@exeter.greenparty.org.uk and someone will get back to you.
