Applications to join PRME Global Students (PGS) leadership teams are open!

PRME Global Students (PGS) is a global network by and for students that fosters creative collaboration and collective action, thus connecting, empowering, and creating value for 300+ sustainability-oriented student organizations worldwide.

PGS is looking for worldwide changemakers with an empathetic and proactive mindset in addressing sustainability who are willing to dedicate their energy and expertise to managing our impactful projects. We currently have two categories of volunteering positions available: PGS Regional Leaders (nine seats) and PGS Taskforce Members (numerous seats in five projects).

All students are encouraged to apply for both Regional Leader and Taskforce Member positions. Please check all details on the specific Terms of Reference list below.


PGS Regional Leaders

With a one-year volunteering mandate, the PGS Regional Leaders are responsible for managing the relationship between PGS and the sustainability-oriented student organizations within their regions. With the support of the PRME Secretariat and the PRME Chapters, the PGS Regional Leaders operate as 'two-way bridges' while communicating, promoting, and connecting worldwide students with PGS-related activities as well as opportunities arising from the broader PRME community and vice-versa. Additionally, PGS Regional Leaders are responsible for representing the PRME Global Students movement by speaking in webinars and events throughout their terms. Finally, they are encouraged to apply their knowledge and expertise while advancing PGS’s governance, communications, and programming.
