Climate Ambassadors is a DfE-funded scheme hosted via STEM Learning, helping education settings deliver meaningful sustainability and climate action.
We are looking for Climate Ambassadors from a broad range of jobs and backgrounds to help deliver meaningful change on sustainability and climate change within the education system.
Climate Ambassadors work with nurseries, schools and colleges to develop climate action plans. Climate action plans will be designed to bring together all the work that education settings are doing on sustainability and climate change. They will cover decarbonisation, adaptation and resilience, biodiversity and climate education and green careers.
You don’t need to be an expert in all these topics - you can focus your time working on things that align with your experience. We will provide you with training and development to help you make the most of your skills when working with a nursery, school or college. There will be opportunities for you to work with the leaders, staff, young people and governors within your paired educational setting and we hope you will develop a long-term relationship so that you can see the impact of your work with them over time.
Eligibility:
For individuals located in the East of England only (which includes Hertfordshire). If you are outside the East of England but are still interested, you can register your interest by visiting the 'Get Involved' page on the Climate Ambassadors website, and the relevant regional hub will get back to you. If you are 18 or under and still in full-time education, we will work through your school or college to empower you to help lead climate action where you are based. Please ask a member of staff to get in touch with us on your behalf. An enhanced DBS and training is required, but this is all arranged and provided for you for free.
