New Volunteer Summer Kick-Off Meeting

Followed by a 'Sisters on the Planet' Screening



Want to learn more about the ties between climate change, poverty and injustice? Are you wondering why women are disproportionately affected by climate related disasters? Interested in volunteering for a grassroots organization that has a global impact?

Then join Columbus Oxfam Action Corps for our first event and summer kick-off celebration!

This meeting will be a gathering of new and old volunteers from all parts of Columbus who are interested in making a forceful effort towards tackling hunger, poverty, and social injustice. You will have an opportunity to learn more about what we do, watch a 'Sisters on the Planet' screening, and discuss opportunities to volunteer over food and refreshments.

Learn how women around the globe, especially in poor countries, are disproportionately being affected by climate change and the associated natural disasters like droughts, floods and hurricanes. Hear the stories of Sahena, Sharon, Muriel and Martina as they discuss the impacts of climate change on their lives.
