Volunteering for the Green Party

Support from volunteers is key to Green Party activity.

Voluntary help is needed at all levels of the party and in all regions. An important principal of the Green Party is that everyone has a role to play and can make a difference.

The national office has opportunities for admin, press, communications, research and political volunteers. Current opportunities are detailed below.

If you would like to know more about volunteering in your region or local party please contact your regional Green Party for details. To find out who your regional coordinator is please telephone Party Office, Monday-Friday, 10am-4pm on 020 7272 4474.

National office admin volunteers

Without help with mailing and telephone answering much of the work accomplished in party office would not get started. If party members help with these day to day tasks it leaves the paid staff with more time to do the specific jobs that they've been trained and recruited to do.

If you are interested in helping, telephone Party Office, Monday-Friday, 10am-4pm on 020 7272 4474.
