[edit] Introducing the NRH Co-Creators Initiative
NRH are always trying to find new ways to collaborate with their network, so they are excited to announce the NRH Co-Creators Initiative. This is a fantastic opportunity to make a difference while volunteering time on terms defined by the volunteer.
The Co-Creator initiative is the perfect opportunity to work together to contribute to a cause volunteers are passionate about - all while tailoring involvement to fit individual schedules and interests.
Whether a seasoned professional looking to give back or someone eager to gain hands-on experience, the NRH program provides the perfect platform for volunteers to make a meaningful impact on decarbonising UK homes and buildings.
Many members of the hubs community have expressed that they want to support the NRH but need flexibility in how and when to do it. That's why NRH launched the Co-Creator initiative - a program that enables individuals to contribute expertise on their own terms.
NRH Co-Creators will have the flexibility to work alongside NRH, and contribute expertise on their own terms, selecting from a range of opportunities that align with specific skills, interests, and schedules.
[edit] Reasons to join the initiative
This collaborative program offers a unique platform for personal and professional growth, providing hands-on experience, networking opportunities, and the satisfaction of making a meaningful impact. Plus, any contributions won't go unnoticed; they will be credited on the NRH website.
Here are five reasons not to miss out on the NRH Co-Creators Initiative:
- Flexible Engagement: Choose opportunities that match your skills, interests, and availability, ensuring a personalised and fulfilling experience.
