JOIN SVN

Hi there! We are so glad you are interested in joining. We have so many amazing ways to get involved, so buckle up as we take you on a short glimpse of how you can make SVN your new home.

 

At SVN, we run tailored programs and impactful projects that make a real difference on topical issues close to our members’ hearts, from climate change to mental health, racism to sexism and more. We also offer countless other hot opportunities like targeted upskilling sessions, fun social events with like minded peeps, mentoring, charity events… we are the platform to be part of!

At SVN, we know that we can do more together then we ever could alone. With the Student Voice Network there is no need to reinvent the wheel as we learn and support each other to take back the reigns of our future and make a difference.

 

All member options provide different opportunities and commitments however all serve a purpose.

Join the Network!

BECOME AN SVN TEACHER ALLY

Teachers… where would we be without them? You are at the forefront of one of our most essential services: education. At SVN we recognise and champion just how vital a role teachers and education have to the work of young people in launching impactful projects and activism in social and environmental issues. 

By becoming a Teacher Ally, you become a trusted contact for students at your school involved in SVN, or who want to learn more about getting a foot in the door on activism and projects in social and environmental issues. 

 

This is the perfect opportunity for teachers who would like to spend the occasional moment supporting students to make a real difference in issues they (and you!) care about. You’ll watch both the students and your collective impact grow and expand!

 

We also ask Teachers who sign up as an Ally if we can contact them for further opportunities, such as offering their expert perspective for other schools and providing feedback that will back our work and our tried-and-tested resources.

Become an SVN Mentor

BECOME AN SVN MENTOR

Do you have industry experience in social or environmental justice? A guru at leading projects or other endeavours? A freelancer who would love to help out our network? Do you want to help guide the next generations of young changemakers? If you said a yes or two just now, you may be the perfect fit to be our newest SVN Mentor!

​

We are looking for people of any age to assist and guide our project leaders in their work, in areas ranging from plastic pollution to racial injustice, and everything in between!
