Volunteer

There are two ways to volunteer with us. You can choose one or both — just fill out the relevant form(s) below

Volunteer directly on LCANZI projects

We undertake work across a range of areas - submissions, research, advocacy, events, and more - and volunteers help make it happen.

How it works:

  • Fill out the form to the right telling us about your expertise and interests.

  • When we establish a project that matches your skills, we'll be in touch.

  • You have no obligation to assist if the timing or scope doesn't suit you.

  • If we don't have an active project that matches your expertise, we may not contact you straight away — but if you have an idea for a project we should be running, let us know in the form. We might ask you to help lead it!

This option is for LCANZI members.

Join our pro-bono panel

Provide pro-bono or reduced-fee legal services to communities, individuals, and organisations with climate-related legal concerns. We act as the matching service between communities  and practising lawyers willing to help.

Requests vary, and can include:

  • Legal research

  • Non-profit governance and structure

  • Litigation

How it works:

  • Fill out this form describing the kind of work you're willing to take on.

  • Our pro-bono coordinator may contact you if we need to clarify anything.

  • When a request comes through that matches your offer and skills, we'll put you in contact with the activist or organisation.

  • You have no obligation to take on any request we send you.
