Let's be friendsWhat is a People & Planet Group Support Volunteer?
People & Planet Group Support Volunteers (GSVs) are young people who support students in local schools and colleges to get active on the international issues they care about.
Using their experience of campaigning and passion for social and environmental justice, GSVs attend regular group meetings to motivate the students and offer face-to-face support. GSVs are motivated to help groups campaign for real change by providing practical support in organising events and actions, planning campaigns, working as a group and much more.
