BECOME AN ACTION TEAM LEADER

Are you ready to make a deep commitment to advancing equality and justice? Do you want to become a powerful organizer and lead the way to an equal future? With comprehensive training and direct 1:1 support from Oxfam staff, you can build a local community of activists to campaign for change!

Action Team Leaders are the core of the Oxfam Action Network for an Equal Future. When you become an Action Team Leader, you’ll recruit people to the movement, train them to become effective activists, and lead them to organize campaign actions like petition drives, advocacy trainings, lobby days and more. You’ll learn to build power in your community and wield it to influence government officials and corporations to address urgent issues of inequality—the climate crisis, economic and racial injustice, and gender discrimination.

As an Action Team Leader, you can make a significant impact in the fight against inequality. Read on to learn if this opportunity is right for you, and apply using the form below.
