Volunteer Experience & Expectations:
CRC, we prioritize people and sustainability. We're excited you’re considering sharing your time and energy with us — and we want to make sure it's a good experience for everyone involved.
- It’s okay to take a break. Your personal time and wellbeing come first.
- If you can’t take on a task or need to pause involvement, just keep your team lead in the loop.
- We encourage growth! Want to try something new or suggest a change? We’ll support you.
- We ask that volunteers show up to meetings, communicate availability, and follow through on commitments.
Our Commitment to DEI:
At CRC, we are committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and equitable team. We strongly encourage applications from individuals who identify as women, non-binary, Indigenous, Black, racialized, 2SLGBTQIA+, persons with disabilities, and others who are underrepresented in the climate and data fields.
Even if you don’t meet every listed qualification, we still encourage you to apply. We value lived experience, willingness to learn, and diverse perspectives just as much as formal credentials.
If you require accommodations during the application or onboarding process, or have any questions about volunteering with SPROUT, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at volunteers@crcgreeen.com
