Volunteering Opportunities with The Green Blue

Do you enjoy using the water?

Ever wondered what you could do to help the environment?

The Green Blue is the flagship environmental awareness programme from the Royal Yachting Association and the British Marine Federation. It aims to educate the boating community about its environmental impacts and how to minimise them.

The Green Blue is now seeking enthusiastic people to play an essential voluntary role in representing The Green Blue at events across your region.

As a volunteer you will be trained in issues covered by The Green Blue and then asked to attend a number of boating events throughout the year.  You will then be able to represent The Green Blue at events such as boat shows, boat jumbles and regattas around your region. You could also be asked to do speaking engagements on behalf of the programme and give talks to local and regional clubs and interested groups.

We need people who are passionate about sailing and boating activities and who have some knowledge, but more importantly, enthusiasm for the environment. Full training will be given and you will need your own transport.

This is a voluntary role and travel, entry fees and subsistence costs will be covered by agreement with the Project Development Officer. The role will include weekend and occasional evening work and could include transporting and setting up a mobile display and running competitions.
