be a VOLUNTEER – September 25th Day of Global Climate Action Toronto

We are looking for volunteers to help both before and on the day of action. Don’t worry if you don’t have experience: training will be offered in advance of the event, including COVID safety training!

We are looking for Outreach Volunteers, General Sit-in Volunteers, and Marshals. A brief summary of each of these roles is included below. After registering, our volunteer coordinators will contact you with more information.

What is Outreach Volunteering?

Because of COVID, leafleting sessions and coordinated poster runs will be curtailed. But we need volunteers to help poster in their neighbourhood. We can dropoff posters of different sizes to your neighbourhood – use our online poster order form. Put up Climate Strike posters around subway stations, busy intersections, as well as posting on utility poles, bulletin boards, and putting them up in store-front windows.

What is a General Climate Strike Rally and March Volunteer?

General Volunteers would help with setup and cleanup, handing out hand sanitizer and masks, green circle pins and signing people up, electronically, to join future Fridays For Future Toronto events. We also need vehicles and drivers to help bring materials to and from the event.

What is a Marshal?

Adult and youth volunteers are needed as Marshals, to help manage the arrival and departure of people at the sit-in, monitor and ask people to comply with COVID safety measures to ensure the safety of participants.

The schedule for Marshals will be:

11:00 – 12:00 : Briefing nearby location TBD

12:00 – 3:00 : Sit-in

Optional training for Marshals will be offered prior to the event, with details to follow. Plans include an on-site briefing for Marshals at 11:00am on the morning of the event and partnering of inexperienced Marshals with those who have been previously trained.
