Help fund the CCL Australia Intern Program.

About CCL Australia
Citizens' Climate Lobby (CCL) was formed to create and build the political will for a liveable world. CCL Australia is an all-Australian, volunteer-led not-for-profit, non-partisan advocacy organisation focused on the task of convincing Australian parliaments to advance policies that accelerate large-scale solutions to solve climate change.

CCL has been fortunate to have the vital assistance of Interns, who volunteer time away from their university studies to help us in return for providing them with the training they need.

Now we are expanding the CCL Australia Intern Program to include more interns and a wider range of training events, in more parts of Australia and throughout the whole year.

Interns assist by: contacting the offices of MPs and senators to make appointments for CCL teams to lobby politicians; preparing follow-up communications; maintaining files; preparing information needed to ensure successful appointments; carrying out research and multimedia projects around energy policy; and being active members of the team in our meetings with politicians. And more! 

CCL assists each intern by: mentoring and training them in CCL’s unique style of advocacy; providing free registration at national and regional conferences; providing shared accommodation and travel expenses to and from conferences.

We are very excited about our new Citizens’ Climate Lobby Australia Intern Program because we know it will increase the number of constructive conversations we can have with Members of Parliament and increase the political will for climate solutions. And we know our interns love the experience. 

Can you donate today to help raise $500 to cover the costs and provide support to one intern? This will enable interns to attend and help run several conferences throughout 2020 -  the CCL National Conference in Canberra and as many capitals and centres as we can.

Or can you donate each month to help raise $1000, which would cover the costs of one intern to work with us all year?

Other ways you can help

Give $25 to help us train CCL Australia interns. We train our volunteers and interns in a very ‘tried and true’ democracy-building methodology that is respectful and relationship-based, and which MPs tell us works.

Give $30 to help towards conference expenses. We believe that our Interns should have the opportunity to work with us from wherever they are, anywhere in Australia. That means we cover their conference travel and accommodation expenses, which is on average around $500 each.

A regular donation to ongoing CCL Australia Climate Solutions Campaign or the $5000 CCL Australia Intern Program goes a very long way. T

Give $10-$30 each month. Regular donation to CCL Australia goes a very long way. This is because we now have wonderful volunteers in 130 out of 150 electorates Australia-wide, not only in the major cities, and we are growing.

We are here for the long term to work on effective and lasting solutions to climate change. Never before has the engagement of everyday Australians working towards effective multi-party climate policy been more urgent.
