Volunteer with WWF in Fiji
Calling all volunteers!
By becoming a volunteer you not only have the chance to give back to nature but to develop you own skills, experience, and employability.
Volunteering with us allows young people to work with conservation professionals on a large variety of projects, from fieldwork to opinion polls to fundraising, and gain an insight into how large NGOs operate.
In return, volunteers enable our office to carry out projects thatwe would like to conduct but which require manpower beyond our budget, and might otherwise have been shelved. For example, since they were recruited in May, our current volunteers have worked on the following projects:
· Conducted a socio-economic survey of Gau Island.
· Contributed to the development of an AusAID funded climate change adaptation plan.
· Organised and hosted a Kung Fu Panda 2 movie premier fundraiser.
· Engaged the public with WWF's work at Suva Agricultural Show.
· Participated in a humpback whale assessment in Levuka.
Application is competitive, and volunteers must be able to commit to 12 months and at least 260 hours. Recruitment for our next batch will likely begin again in May 2012; meantime, you can follow what our volunteers are up to in our News section.
