Seed Grassroots Gathering

We are excited to announce that CoPower customer members have voted to allocate $10,000 to Seed Indigenous Youth Climate Network’s Grassroot Gathering.

In October 2024, Seed is hosting a Grassroots Gathering in Naarm/Melbourne, which is a 3-day training camp to engage 20-30 new and existing volunteers nationally. Volunteers will take part in peer-led workshops to build their skills, confidence and awareness around climate justice. This will be our second Grassroots Gathering of the year, which will build the size and capacity of our grassroots network of volunteers.

Volunteers will take part in peer-led workshops led by Seed staff and core volunteers that are catered to different knowledge levels. Our peer-to-peer engagement model follows four key ingredients:

– Confidence and belief that we can make a difference;

– Knowledge of the issue and skills to take action;

– Connection to like-minded young people, and;

– Opportunities, resources and support to be part of national campaigns that create real world change

Seed volunteers are at the heart of what we do. We know that we need a powerful and skilled network of volunteers right across the country to lead meaningful change to protect Country. It’s volunteers who are on the ground, engaging in conversations and implementing strategic (and cheeky) tactics for our campaigns to build climate justice.

This impact campaign is supported through the 2024 2024 CoPower Democratic Budget to drive change in communities.
