Do you want to take action against ironies? Such as the fact that people who grow your food--many of whom are women--cannot afford to feed their own families? Or that one in seven people goes to bed hungry every night even though the world produces enough food for everybody?
Do you want to achieve local policies to sustainably feed a growing population and empower everyone to be able to earn a living, feed their families, and thrive?
Do you want to hold governments and businesses accountable for the impact of their policies and practices have on the environment and their constituents and consumers?
Action Corps is a national, solely volunteer-led, grassroots effort aimed at ensuring everyone has access to basic resources. We make it our mission to educate the community on local, national, and global campaigns and initiatives that many times are life changing to those without a voice.
We have worked on climate change, the refugee crisis, pay for global farmers, food aid reform, and many many others.
Do you want to be involved in something, but feel like you just can’t commit a set amount of hours each week? That’s okay! Volunteering with the Action Corps is extremely flexible and most of it can be virtual, done at 2pm or 2am! We’re not a stiff group; we try to have fun, but still take our work and efforts very seriously. Anyone is welcome to volunteer, regardless of age or experience level; all you need is a willingness to make a difference.
Volunteering could be anything from simply posting on social media to visiting or writing an elected official; from graphic design to policy research; drafting newsletters to organizing awareness concerts in your neighbourhood.
No matter what your skill set or interest, we need you . You will add value no matter what you are doing or how much time you are able to give.
Please check out our website or email us to learn more.
