Whether you have time, energy, skills, or funds to give — there’s a meaningful way for you to get involved.
Here’s are a few ways you can join our movement:
1. Become an Ally🌱
Allies are people and organisations who participate in one of our workshops, events, or community initiatives. Whether you join a Climate Fresk, Biodiversity Collage, Circular Economy Collage, or one of our nature-based experiences, you are already part of the change.
No ongoing commitment — just curiosity, open-mindedness, and a willingness to learn.
Ambassadors are trained and active volunteers who generously contribute their time and energy to support our purpose in their local community and within the organisation.
From learning and facilitating workshops to supporting events, securing and delivering projects, fundraising, and growing our community, our ambassadors are at the heart of our grassroots power.
This is a volunteer role and can be as flexible or involved as your time allows.
As representatives of People For Nature, Ambassadors are expected to comply with our Code of Conduct. Ambassadors are also expected to accept personal accountability for their conduct and contribute to safe, collaborative spaces — whether online or in person.

As a psychologist Gaye believes that our wellbeing is inseparable from the health of the Earth.
I want to help people reconnect with the natural world and nurture the emotional resilience and care needed to protect our planet in the face of climate change.
A Climate Fresk facilitator, Gaye played a key part in bringing the Youth program for AlterCOP 30 to life in Brisbane in November 2025.
Being part of a community helps tackle climate change by turning individual concern into collective action – sharing knowledge, changing habits together, and building the momentum needed for real, lasting impact and change.
