Requirements

Volunteers need to have a love of the outdoors and people, especially children. You will be working one on one or with small groups of students aged between 5 and 18. The community is small and located rurally, so a Driver’s License and the ability to purchase your own car (or share costs with the other volunteer) is highly preferred. This is a 6-month placement with the possibility of an extension to 12-months
