There are hundreds of Greenpeace groups around the globe! Local groups give you the chance to work with other volunteers to be a real force in a global movement for change. These groups need people with the skills and courage to gather and organize.&nbsp; People who want to see big corporations and governments held accountable for their role in destroying our planet and our communities. People who are willing to stand up and speak out, who love this world and will work collectively with others to protect it and make it a more just and equitable place for all!<br><br>Local Groups are made up of Greenpeace volunteers who are driving change in their communities. These groups work collaboratively to support Greenpeace by organizing events, campaigns, and actions.&nbsp; They also support local movements by working in alliance with other like-minded groups.<\/p>\n\n<p>This is a great opportunity for volunteers who enjoy working collectively with others.&nbsp; It\u2019s perfect for community organizers who are interested in working with Greenpeace. All groups receive guidance, support, and resources from Greenpeace staff.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>PLEASE get in touch!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Montreal<\/strong>: <a href=\"mailto:montrealgroupelocal@greenpeace.ca\">montrealgroupelocal@greenpeace.ca<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Toronto<\/strong>: <a href=\"mailto:torontolocalgroup@greenpeace.ca\">torontolocalgroup@greenpeace.ca<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><strong>Vancouver<\/strong>: <a href=\"mailto:vancouverlocalgroup@greenpeace.org\">vancouverlocalgroup@greenpeace.<\/a>ca<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/canada\/en\/act\/greenspeakers\/\"><strong>GTA &amp; Hamilton Greenspeakers<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join a local Greenpeace volunteer group, or start your own.
