Communications Coordinator

Save to Favorites

Our Task is a community of global citizens who are concerned about the future of the planet. We are an independent, non-profit that is run 100% by volunteers from all over the world. Our mission is to transform young adults into global thinkers and empower them to lead the next generation in building a sustainable future.

The Communications Coordinator position could be an exciting and challenging role for someone who is interested in communications and PR and who wants to make a difference in the world.

In order to address the breadth of sustainability issues the world faces but also allow enough time to dig deep into how we can make a difference, Our Task will spend 6-month 'intervals' focusing on one area of concern at a time. The first interval will begin in 2017 and will focus on Soil, and the second half of 2017 we will focus on Food Security. Our hope is to hold at least one event per month related to the interval focus.

Topics for 2018 are yet to be decided.....
