The 27-year-old Taichung Branch of the Homemakers United Foundation Environmental Protection Foundation is looking for a partner who cares about the environment and is interested in related public issues (food and farming education, energy transition, anti-air pollution, plastic reduction), with data integration and analysis skills, to assist with project planning and execution!
Our organization is a non-profit organization (NGO) that advocates for environmental issues. Although we do not have the glamorous spaces and conditions of the corporate world, we can provide a green-collar garden where you can put ideals into practice, grow personally, and improve Taiwan's environment.
At present, most of the volunteers and staff in our organization are women. This job occasionally requires handling activities on weekends and holidays, going out onto the streets, and interacting directly with members of the public, government personnel, the media, and other parties. If you cannot accept the above conditions, this job may not be very suitable for you.
The policy advocacy and environmental education issues we currently focus on include anti-air pollution, food and farming education, school lunches, plastic and waste reduction, energy transition, and so on. Over the years, many of the advances in local governance in central Taiwan have borne the mark of the Taichung Branch of the Homemakers United Foundation after its deep cultivation.
This environmental garden was opened, watered, and carefully nurtured by a group of women who are "brave enough to speak up, willing to take on responsibility, and quick to act." Women's wisdom and strength come from cooperation and mutual assistance. We welcome you to join the ranks of work that carries forward an unending relay of cooperative thinking and action.
