Ready to step up and make the action happen with XR NYC? Our movement runs on the fierce dedication of committed, collaborative volunteers.
Our working groups invite you to open New Rebel Welcome meetings to introduce the work each group does, discuss upcoming projects, identify open roles and share ideas. The first half of the meeting will be an opportunity for introductions, learning more about how our organizing structure works and identifying specific ways you can get involved. Working groups will conduct regular business in the second half of the meeting.
Not sure which group is the best fit? Try more than one! We’d love to connect and get to know new members better.
Outreach: Monday, May 20th at 6:30 pm
Outreach helps grow the movement! We plan and host talks and trainings, get the word out about the climate emergency through flyering and digital messaging, help new Rebels find a place in the movement, and build community. We also work to build relationships with other organizations.
If you have experience or interest in bringing people together, teaching or training, marketing, project management, public speaking, making connections across organizations or just like to meet new people we’d love to meet you!

Regenerative Culture: Monday, May 20th at 7:30 pm
Regenerative Culture emphasizes self-care, people care, and planet care within our organization. We prioritize building relationships that foster trust and inspire individuals to work effectively together. Our focus is on maintaining healthy interpersonal relationships and ensuring accountable use of power. We provide Rebels with the space and support needed to learn and grow, including processing conflict regeneratively through dialogue and connection and providing programming to practice and learn the skills necessary for the growth of this movement.
If you have skills or interest in counseling, wellness, communication, group facilitation, conflict resolution, community building or are a healthcare professional, we'd love to meet you!

Action: Monday, May 20th at 8:00 pm
Action is the engine for our work on the ground and in the streets. The Action Working group designs, organizes, and executes beautiful, bold, and compelling direct actions that align with XR’s overall strategy and supports the smooth functioning of project teams.
We’re looking for collaborative problem solvers with the time, commitment, and know how to turn visions into reality.

Digital Infrastructure: Tuesday, May 21st at 6:00 pm
Digital Infrastructure handles the care and feeding of the systems that support all of our other working groups. This includes adding new pages onto our website, providing technical support for our speakers and teachers, maintaining our membership database, running digital security training, or providing digital tools that empower other groups to work efficiently and effectively. Through this work we collaborate with almost every working group in XR NYC.
You do NOT need to be a technology professional or programmer to be useful in Infra, just a general comfort around apps and computers is enough! Additional useful skills include instructional writing, project management, web development, and data organization.

Media and Messaging: Tuesday, May 21st at 7:30 pm
Media and messaging shapes the story of XR and does the essential work spreading the word far and wide. M&M plans, writes and creates messaging that aligns with XR strategy for social media, email, press releases and video. We’re looking for people with skills or experience in video production, graphic design, copywriting, social media campaign planning and execution, press release writing, photography, etc. A willingness to spend time learning about XR’s DNA and history is a must. The impact of our media & messaging team is immeasurable and we’d love to talk to you more about joining our team.
