Opportunity: Creative/Writer at Create the Future

Question

If your creative spark flares from nature and climate-expression, we’d love to hear from you.

About Create the Future:
At Create the Future, our aim is to alleviate climate anxiety and enable behaviour change through climate optimism, creativity and empowerment, working with a range of people and organisations to change the narrative on the climate crisis to one of hope and imagination.

As a creative, we would be thrilled to share your work with our audience and bring awareness to what you do. The creative team works on all kinds of content, from blogs and articles about positive climate news or interviews with environmental changemakers, to short stories, poems, postcards, letters, and art with a positive vision for the future. We are always looking for new, creative ideas.

About the role:
Create the Future is looking for volunteer creatives and writers to join the team. We have a strong focus on empowering the individual so they feel that they can be a force for good on the world around them. We understand that this can be a hard perspective to take when things seem overwhelmingly negative but this is why this position is so important. We want to spark the realisation that we can be a force for good if we act; we just need the encouragement and tools to do it. Our aspiration is to share this message and hopefully encourage people to realise their own positive potential.

This role will give you the chance to breathe life into your own creative ideas and passions which we can share with the wider CTF community.

How to apply:
If you have an interest in this role, please email Leah (leah@createthefuture.earth) and Jess (jess@createthefuture.earth) with a brief cover letter detailing your experience and skills as well as your creative interest.

Here are some prompts if you’re not sure where to start.
1. What climate creative projects have you worked on before?
2. What would you like to get out of this role?
3. Why do you think that upholding a positive focus is so important when expressing climate-related issues?

We look forward to hearing from you and thank you for taking the time to apply! :)
