Volunteers will join a team of young conservationists from across the world who bring their real-world experiences to the classroom and show students what being a conservationist can look like.
Volunteers will
- Help facilitate our WildED workshops
- Provide support and guidance for students' environmental action projects
- Inspire young people with their experience and expertise
There will also be additional opportunities to volunteer elsewhere in the charity with our ambassador and outreach events.
Please note: Whilst volunteering commitment is flexible, We would like volunteers, where possible, to work with one school a term as this gives volunteers and young people a chance to build rapport. This involves 3x 1.5-hour workshops spread across the Spring-Summer terms although we do understand that this is not always feasible and we'd love to hear from you regardless!
