Become a Volunteer

Do you have a passion for learning and using NVC?

Do you love the idea that NVC could reach more people?

Do you have skills and are able to commit time regularly?

Then get in touch, we'd love to hear from you about the possibility of joining our team as a volunteer for NVC Matters.

Organised as a not-for-profit Community Interest Company we are attempting to grow a needs-based organisation to support the growth of NVC in the UK. 

We work in small groups and each have our own tasks and make our own decisions for our projects. The meetings are efficient! Which means we can get a lot done in a short space of time. 

Our current volunteers value the community of working together contributing to our shared passion and with autonomy of action to energize their roles!

At the moment some key priorities are to sustain our core functions and rely less on our founders’ energy and expertise. 

Anybody with passion for NVC and some regular time available; maybe a few hours a week or a day or two a month, is invited to reach out at the email below. We can then have an informal chat about your needs and how they might match the needs in the organisation.
