Community Teams
MET welcomes and integrates new members into SanDiego350, and facilitates educational, training and social events for the SD350 community.
WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON

- Organize socials for volunteers to meet one another and engage with climate action in different ways
- Develop a check-in system to follow up with volunteers and increase engagement with SD350
WHAT OUR VOLUNTEERS DO
- Increase climate crisis awareness and build the organization’s capacity to mobilize climate activists.
- Create a sense of climate community by helping to connect members to one another and to a team

- Work with community members to create fun social events and unique climate action experiences for volunteers
- Help grow our own team and SD350 membership as a whole
Team Accomplishments

- Created many unique and fun socials, including our Kayak social with over 60 attendees, climate grief discussion featuring author Shawna Weaver, and a climate change art gallery visit in Balboa park
- Revamped Orientation Chats to include a history of SD350 and a more engaging format
