WORK WITH US
So, you like what we're weaving and want to get involved? Amazing, you've come to the right place and we're excited to start bringing new people into/towards the team. Read through whats below: what we're looking for, roles that need filling, timeline for applications and how to register your interest - Love and Power!✊💚🔥
Just some pics from our work to hopefully get y'all excited! :))
What are we asking for?
-
We’re really looking for some more core members of our team - so this needs to be someone based in (or willing to be based in) Stroud
-
Commitment of >2 days a week (not all at once) for ideally at least 6 months (but not in like a strict way)
-
Have some experience of one or some of these things: community organising, alternative education, activism, campaigning, direct action, politics - or be willing to jump in the deep end !
Some of the roles we want filled!
These aren’t hard and fast but we thought it would be good to give an idea of some of the practical work:
-
Media / arts / communications
-
creating media / art to tell the stories of what people are doing and what we’re learning
-
sharing and distributing materials
-
-
Education
-
designing, running workshops
-
co-creating resources to distribute
-
-
Affinity Community
-
linking the work we do with the wider activist/youth organising networks across the country and beyond
-
Building and holding relationships with other groups, helping us work together and keeping the RYSE accountable to everyone else!
-
-
Space
-
we’re right on the edge of hopefully getting a building of our own!! If this comes thru we’ll need people coordinating the use of the space, making it as radical and accessible as possible
-
if we don’t get this space, we need to keep looking and more hands on deck for that!!
-
-
Other ways to be involved are very on the table - and if you don’t know also fine - we can work it out :)

What else?
What we can practically offer:
-
Up til this point we’ve been able to offer some members of our team volunteer living expenses (up to ~£500/month). We expect and hope to be able to continue and grow our ability to pay people but we can’t guarantee that
-
We MAY be able to find people cheap / free housing in Stroud - this is how most of us are able to afford to work on this project !! Pls get in touch if this is something you would need to work with us + are keen :)
-
A fucking great team to work with and learn loads and hopefully make impacts !!
Next steps:
-
Drop us a message on 07584849323, or a DM @the.r.y.s.e._news or email at theryse@riseup.net with any questions, or if u are keen!!
-
We’ll invite ppl to come meet us / have some chats in person and work it out from there :))
...and while you're here!
We’re also putting out feelers for people to join a network of educators affiliated to the RYSE to increase our capacity, especially to respond to requests for education outside of the South West. If you’re someone who holds educational spaces - broadly defined - and wants to contribute to our work and join a community of radical educationists developing shared pedagogy and practising reflection together, then this is for you! Through collaboration in this network we can develop education in a wider variety of areas, bringing in people with experience and knowledge that we are currently lacking!
We’ve got some practical ideas but would love for this to be collaborative, so if you’re interested do let us know!
