Vegan Outreach Organiser
REF: 6989deb60c030
Every time we launch or refocus on a campaign, you will be sent a collection of tasks to choose from. These could include holding a stall, writing to an MP, or finding locations for our leaflets. You'll be able to choose what you'd like to take action on from the task list.
You would also be the main contact for volunteer Advocates in your area, encouraging them to do the tasks, get involved and report back. You'll be in charge of coordinating activities, such as looking for stalls at local events and then encouraging other local volunteers to come along and help out.
You would welcome new Advocates in your area. We let Organisers know when somebody new applies, and they give them a friendly welcome and help them to get involved with any activities. Don't worry! If you've never co-ordinated others before, there will be guidance on this, as well as ongoing support. All you need is a friendly demeanour and a willingness to get stuck in.
An Organiser also holds the local group's resources. We would provide you with physical materials (such as leaflets, tablecloth, t-shirts) through the post, and be in regular contact to ensure you have everything you need. You will ensure that when representing us in public, you are in line with our branding and messaging guidelines.
You will also be invited to our volunteer Facebook group and Organiser WhatsApp chat to socialise and share ideas with peers (optional).
Role
There will be a full induction to the role, which is drip-fed and done flexibly in your own time.
To start with, we will provide handbooks and training videos for you to look through while we wait for your references to return. Once these are back, we will provide a full pack of physical resources through the post so you can get going with outreach and introduce you to local Advocates. There is a gradual introduction of new tasks and tailored support can be provided as you go along.
We will have regular conversations and check-ins, where we can discuss other requirements, as we know everybody has different skills and abilities. Staff are always available for any questions, via phone or email. We're always open to hearing about people's accessibility requirements and preferences - we are a very diverse and inclusive bunch!
We never expect volunteers to be out of pocket. We reimburse expenses related to the role, such as travel and payments for stalls at events.
This would suit a bubbly, friendly person who is passionate about spreading veganism in their local area and loves connecting with others. Our Organisers are great at responding to emails and getting stuck in with tasks. Many Organisers find a huge sense of satisfaction and enjoy the social side of volunteering in this role.

The Vegan Society
Organisation description:
The Vegan Society's mission is to make veganism mainstream. We're working tirelessly to make veganism an easily-adopted and widely-recognised approach to reducing animal suffering and environmental damage. We do so through peaceful and factual dialogue with individuals, organisations and businesses. We achieve this vision and mission by providing information, supporting and advising individuals and health professionals, caterers, manufacturers, and influencing policy makers. We also fund vegan initiatives set up by members and supporters, and work with volunteers and partners towards making our vision a reality. We work with the media to help reinforce a positive view of veganism and to help a larger audience see that veganism is a rewarding, enjoyable and viable lifestyle.
