VOLUNTEER WITH US
We work with volunteers to deliver and measure the Our Planet Needs You school climate action programme, with cross-community engagement at the heart of everything we do.
As we grow, we’re building a wider network of volunteers who can help support, inspire and empower participating schools and their communities to take practical climate action.
If you believe in the power of collective action and want to help make your local area cleaner, greener and more connected, we’d love to hear from you.

OPNY Surveyors
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED:
November 2026 – June 2027
OPNY measures the real-world impact of climate action in schools through surveys carried out by our volunteer partners.
Each participating school needs 11 surveys per year, helping us measure the impact of initiatives including school litter picks, greener kitchen menus, active travel and planting projects.
By becoming an OPNY Surveyor, you’ll help schools understand what’s working, measure their progress and build a clearer picture of the positive impact they’re having in their local community.
Want to help drive climate action in your local area?
Join our volunteer network and become an OPNY Surveyor.
Volunteers carrying out surveys that involve direct contact with students will need an up-to-date Enhanced DBS certificate, unless they are aged 16–18 and in full-time education. Appropriate safeguarding guidance will be provided before taking part.
