Overview
We seek senior-level volunteers to help design and manage powerful campaigns that reach consumers, brands, and business leaders to help end single-use plastic.
What difference will you make?
* Volunteers at the REUSE Foundation play a crucial role in transforming how the world thinks about plastic. By contributing their time, skills, and energy, volunteers directly help shift the narrative, shape campaigns and communications that challenge greenwashing, raise awareness, and spotlight scalable solutions to single-use plastic.
* Amplify Reuse Innovation: help identify, support, and elevate reuse pioneers and businesses around the world that need visibility and partnerships to grow.
* Drive Policy Change: support policy advocacy and influence decision-makers to prioritize reuse and refill systems in place of token recycling commitments.
* Secure Funding for Change: help build relationships with funders, philanthropists, and companies who can accelerate the reuse movement.
* Build Public Momentum: create engaging outreach that motivates everyday consumers to rethink their habits and demand systemic solutions.
What are we looking for?
* Fundraising & Philanthropy: Experience writing successful grant applications or managing relationships with funders. Knowledge of trusts, foundations, or donor networks focused on the environment or circular economy. Ability to identify and research funding opportunities and help craft compelling cases for support.
* Corporate Outreach & Partnerships: Background in CSR, ESG, or sustainability partnerships. Ability to initiate and manage relationships with mission-aligned companies. Strategic thinking to design mutual value propositions for brand partners.
* Communications & Campaigns: Strategic communications experience — especially in nonprofit or sustainability sectors. Strong writing and storytelling skills (campaigns, reports, social media). Experience in stakeholder engagement, coalition-building, or advocacy is a plus.
What will you be doing?
