All of our workshop facilitators go through training to learn the skills required to deliver a fantastic session for young people. We deliver workshops both in-person in schools, and online over Zoom.
Each workshop has been prepared in advance and includes interactive educational content and a mixture of short talks and fun activities. Our volunteers work in smalls team of 1-3 people to deliver short sessions to school classes or youth groups.
ABOUT VOLUNTEERING.
Time commitment
DBS Check
Skills and Experience
Our roles are flexible and designed to fit around busy life schedules. Ideally we are looking for a commitment of around 2-3 hours each month. Most of our roles can be carried out remotely, although fluency in English is essential.
All our volunteers delivering school workshops are required to be a UK resident and to complete an enhanced DBS check (England & Wales) AccessNI (Northern Ireland) or join the PVG scheme (Scotland). This is free of charge and we’ll support you to complete this process.
We are looking for people who are passionate about the environment and believe that educating young people about conservation and wildlife is extremely valuable. You don’t need to be an expert on animal welfare, conservation or the environment – we’ll provide all the training, materials, and resources that they’ll need. However do you need to feel confident at presenting. If you’d like to get involved with our work we’d love to hear from you!
