Greens SA Fellowship - Expressions of Interest

The Greens SA Fellowship is designed to upskill and develop current and future leaders within the Greens SA. It is a structured 10 week program designed to help participants build the skills and knowledge they need to be campaigners, candidates, office bearers and leaders that help drive our party into the future.

The 10 week program will consist of weekly, in person seminars relating to key topics in the work of the Greens SA from campaigning to governance. It will include weekly interactive workshops with guest speakers from within the party and beyond and an opportunity to put your skills and knowledge to real world use. 

Topics covered will include election campaigning, party governance, using parliament, fundraising, how to build a strong team and much more.

What you can expect

• To be part of a cohort of people that want to give their time and energy to building the Greens in South Australia

• The opportunity to hear from leaders within our party including MPs, staff, volunteers and interstate counterparts

• A positive and respectful space (with dinner provided!)

• A chance to deeply engage with our strategy and build campaigning skills
  

Commitment required

Fellows will be expected to regularly attend seminars and undertake a real world project to put their skills and lessons into effect. Some work outside of seminar sessions will be required.
