Why I'm a Volunteer
…because you can make a difference:
encouraging Calgarians to live more sustainably
increasing your own capacity to take environmental action
contributing your passion and skills to help build a more sustainable city
…because you'll have a great time:
connecting with others that share similar interests and values
learning simple ways to live greener together
getting out into your community and meeting new people
…because you can help:
represent Green Calgary at community events
provide administrative and/or IT support
facilitate educational presentations and workshops
research and contribute to online resources
run annual celebrations and fundraisers
My inspiration for joining stems from a long held and even innate desire to help protect the resources we rely on and to actually take action rather than sit back and talk about what should be done.

I give because I love the work Green Calgary does. I've been involved with the organization for many years and have attended workshops, been a volunteer, been a member and believe in the work and the programs.
