Sometimes we all experience a bit of imposter syndrome. At The Climate Coalition we believe that imposter syndrome is a manifestation of the oppression many of us face on a day to day. We have no specific education requirements, and experience can be in a paid or unpaid context. You don’t have to tick all the boxes for each role to apply. If you feel a pull towards a specific role and believe you could make a difference we would love to hear from you!
