About the Role

To build stable and sustainable funding, the AYCC is on the lookout for passionate and dedicated fundraisers!

We are looking for people who are confident and engaging communicators, with attention to detail and understand the importance of securing donations for a non-for-profit; and with a passion for and literacy in climate justice.

Previous fundraising experience and/or experience volunteering within NFPs would be highly regarded but is not essential.

About AYCC

The AYCC is a non-profit, non-partisan organisation building a movement of young people to protect our future from climate change. We are Australia’s largest youth-led organisation and one of the most effective organisations dedicated to tackling climate change, with hundreds volunteers nationally and more than 200,000 supporters. We have three major areas within AYCC:

• Campaigns to solve the climate crisis: we run strategic campaigns to make sure Australia moves from fossil fuels to renewable energy as quickly as possible while putting justice at the centre. Our campaigns include:
  • Stopping dangerous gas expansion, by stopping the finance new projects require and eroding the social licence of the fossil fuel industry
• Climate Solutions and investment in our communities to tackle two crises at once
  • Solidarity with communities on the front lines of fossil fuel extraction and climate change impacts
• Movement building: our movement is radically inclusive, equitable and accessible, and prides itself on its diversity and scale. To be able to win on our campaigns we know we need young people taking action everywhere across the continent. We empower volunteers to take on meaningful leadership and responsibility while supporting each other to learn and grow. And we also prioritise building the power of our movement in the places and communities most critical to enabling us to shift the public story and policy of climate change on this continent.
