Volunteer

Volunteer with us

Our volunteers come from a range of fields such as engineering, science, economics, business, finance and communications.

We're powered by volunteers

Beyond Zero Emissions is the only Australian think tank powered by a wide network of volunteers that willingly give their expertise in engineering, science, economics, business, finance and communications to create climate solutions.

Volunteers help us with

  • Research and engagement projects
  • Proof reading
  • Writing projects
  • Administration and support tasks
  • Event support

Our need for volunteers varies throughout the year. Most projects have a set time frame and defined outcome, taking place over a period of 6 - 12 weeks. You can volunteer from home, however for most projects there will be a need to meet with our staff online during office hours, so we can discuss progress and next steps together. Volunteering is a great way to use your skills and knowledge while making new connections, as well as adding some impressive projects to your resume.

My volunteering experience with BZE is going well. Just happy to be useful where I can be as the organisation's purpose and approach resonate strongly with me. More transactionally, I thought the induction, related materials and onboarding were all very good. The quantity of deliverables requested and deadlines set have all been very flexible and manageable, and working with Melissa has been very easy and enjoyable.

Neil - Senior Finance Support

I am really enjoying this experience. I am interested to know where some of these smaller companies will end up in the future, and if the products/processes will become a part of our daily lives (like Tesla for example)... Tejesh is great, always calm, collected and supportive.

Peter - Cleantech Researchers & Writers, Cohort 3

Great minds think alike—I was planning to send you an email saying that things are going great! I’m really enjoying the project and find the weekly meetings very helpful.

Sophie - Cleantech Researchers & Writers, Cohort 3

It's going well. After a couple of short sessions with Tejesh I am up to speed now and finding the Cleantech Showcase files and the due diligence process all really interesting.

Volunteer - Cleantech Researchers & Writers, Cohort 3

I have learned so much volunteering with BZE, applying previous skills and learning new things as I go. It has been a great way to get involved in the industry I hope to be working in, gain experience, meet new people and broaden my knowledge of the climate movement in Australia. I really enjoyed my time volunteering at BZE and working alongside Heidi (E) was amazing.
