Group Support - Fieldworkers are here

Amnesty International is trialling fieldworkers as part of the long term Mobilising for Impact strategy (M4I). The trial will run in South Australia and Queensland from July, with fieldworkers on the ground for six months.

Local group activism

Fieldworkers will be part of the Community Campaign team and will provide training, guidance and group support including: strategic campaigning techniques; event management; group management; recruitment and retention of new members; getting new groups up and running.
