Job description
The Nelson Environment Centre's vision is a sustainable, resilient, and thriving future for all.
The Nelson Environment Centre is an independent social enterprise that helps the Nelson Tasman community live more sustainably and reduce its impact on the environment. We’re proud to have been serving our community since 1976.
Our mission is to provide practical leadership and advocacy to reduce waste to support our community to transition to a sustainable future.
You can make an impact, get involved in a cause you care about, and learn (or expand your) excellent leadership skills by joining our Board.
Our Board is responsible for the governance and driving the strategic direction of our organisation. Each member brings important skills and perspective to help ensure our organisation is sustainable and effective at addressing the current environmental challenges. The Board meets on the 3rd Wednesday evening of the month with the formal meeting every second month. This can be in person or online, so it can be a remote role.
Our key focus is to help people to reduce and rethink waste output, by providing positive options and education for Repair, ReUse, and Recycling. We achieve this through the operation of our three core programmes: Kai Rescue (a food rescue initiative that diverts surplus food from landfill and redirects it for redistribution by local charities to people in need); Electronic Waste Repair & Recycling; and the ReUse Shops & Recycle Centre.
With 25+ team members and 50+ volunteers across our organisation, our programmes provide tangible action-based solutions to the global environmental problems that we are facing.
