If you become a volunteer with us then we will keep the information from this form on our volunteer database. We will ensure that your information is kept confidentially and we will not pass on any of your personal information without obtaining your permission. If there is not an appropriate volunteering role for you at the moment, or you decide that you do not want to volunteer, then you will be able to choose if you want us to delete your information or if you want us to keep it so that we can contact you about other volunteering opportunities that arise.
Our Values:
~ Humility (Consideration)
We choose to wake up and get real about how things really are, both in our own
lives and in the greater world. Facing the truth, dealing with what is, and no
longer looking away.
~ Unity (Encouragement)
We choose co-creation over solo experience and sisterhood (the shared field of
transparency and trust) as the ground from which we grow the organisation and
call each other into our most authentic selves on behalf of Earth.
~ Connection (Intimacy)
We choose to really feel how things are – to experience our bodies as part of
nature as we learn how to listen to and embody our wholeness, wildness and
natural flow.
~ Right Action (Responsibility)
We choose to take action from a place of deep listening through heart and body,
so that our actions serve connection and we operate in ways that bring heart,
mind, body and world into balance and well-being.
~ Service (Courage)
We choose to give of our hearts, passions, creativity and gifts in ways that grow
ourselves and each other in our collective awakening and service on behalf of life
and the natural world.
Do you agree to support these values whilst volunteering with us?
Yes

Thank You
Thank you so much for offering TreeSisters your time and skills. It is the biggest gift that you can give and it is deeply appreciated. We want to ensure that we place volunteers in roles that are right for them, and right for the organisation. Where it isn't possible to offer you the role that you want we will try to explore alternative opportunities. As we are presently operating with a reduced team due to the pandemic, we aim to respond to applications within four weeks.
If you have any questions or you need help with filling in the application then please contact us at
volunteer@treesisters.org
