Global Citizen Ambassador

  • VO99299


Description

Over the past 38 years the OWC has worked with schools and community groups across Tayside to increase understanding of issues of global, social and environmental justice. We believe that how we behave locally impacts on the lives of others globally.

Our Global Citizenship Ambassadors would be expected to lead community group sessions exploring the links between our lives and those of people throughout the world - for which training will be given. Our volunteers will be supported by trustees of the OWC.

We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers who want to make a difference.
