C4C Fundraising and communication fellowship | Jan-May 2019, Melbourne

Climate for Change are looking for a new group of up to 25 committed volunteers to join in 2019.

You will learn and work with a small, hard-working team to design and implement an ambitious real-life fundraising project in a fun and supportive environment. This is a great opportunity for someone wanting first-hand experience in the not-for-profit sector, while gaining fundamental skills needed for fundraising, communications and community organising.

The first part of the fellowship will involve weekly sessions covering everything from fundraising strategy to values-based communication delivered by industry experts, while the second part will focus on project work. To ensure you have the skills and knowledge needed to successfully complete these projects, you will be trained and supported by experts in a range of fundraising and communication fields.

Why ‘active listening’ will make you more productive, and how to do it

There are two types of listening: passive and active. With passive listening, you don’t chew on someone’s words too much; you simply react to what they say and try to get your own points across. Active listening is different, and in my opinion a lot more productive. With active listening, you bring all of your attention and focus to your conversation, which means the conversation has a lot more meaning, depth, and you get a much greater return from your time. It takes more energy and effort, but I think it’s well worth it.
