Could you be the spark that’s needed to create change within a community? Do you want to inspire and motivate others to make a positive difference in their area? If yes, then you could find great satisfaction in a role as a Member Pioneer.
Member Pioneers are responsible for supporting and bringing communities together. They listen to local people, identify their needs and try to work out how to make a community a better place to live, play and learn. By introducing local people to local projects, charities and causes, Member Pioneers are able to help improve lives. In every community, there are things that can be done to make a difference, but the job of the Member Pioneer is to uncover these things and support people on their journey to making that difference.
The right person will:
Once you’re gained experience as a Member Pioneer, you may want to move on to a Coordinator role where you will lead and support a team of Member Pioneers, helping them to plan and coordinate activities in their local communities.
“There are so many reasons to become a Member Pioneer but for me, it was to be part of my community and help make a difference. It makes me feel proud to help my community in a grassroots way to achieve what they want by co-producing projects that make a difference.”
Fiona Mac, Member Pioneer for Coop
