The Outreach Team
Outreach is dedicated to making sure that actions and events are supported by outreach to the public and specific audiences. We do this by training volunteers to perform outreach, producing flyers, and making outreach material available to the movement.
The Team and Current Situation
We are a small team, but growing. We're looking to expand the scope of work for the team to include different types of outreach and mobilisation. This is being worked out currently. If you're interested in coordinating outreach, we can discuss the changes with you.
As per the usual ways that XR teams works everyone involved in the work gets a say on everything - so you will too - and we will look to add more people to the team with specific remits, or skills, as the development of future plans progresses.
The ‘Internal Coordinator’ or IC Role
Currently we have one Internal Coordinator who also holds other roles in XR. As we're expanding the scope of work, we are looking for another to join the current IC in a role-share to support each other through the growth and reconfiguring of our team. The IC role generally needs a little bit of experience of how XR works, but mostly you should be organised and a good team-player.
We look forward to hearing from you if you’d like to consider this - there is no commitment in applying it’s just a means to get in touch and start a conversation so please come say Hi if this sounds like it might be fore you =)
