Why join Roots?
Roots Media CIC was founded by three teenagers in 2024 to help young people find their place in the climate and nature movement.
We’re a small, collaborative team that values young people’s ideas and creates paid opportunities to put them into action. You’ll get practical experience, full training and the chance to contribute to a creative project celebrating Torbay’s wildlife.
Training will cover workshop facilitation, safeguarding, risk assessments and nature connection techniques.
We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and particularly encourage applications from people underrepresented in the environmental sector, including working‑class young people, ethnic minority candidates, LGBTQIA+ people and disabled people.
