Volunteer Opportunities
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with WCN. We are always looking for dedicated people to help us carry out our mission to raise funds and awareness for wildlife conservation. Please take a moment to download and read through the brief eight-page volunteer handbook as it may answer many of your questions and offers you details about the types of volunteer work and benefits WCN offers. If, after reading the handbook, you think WCN seems like a good fit for you, please contact us at 650-949-3533 or volunteer@wildnet.org so that we may discuss volunteer opportunities further.

Please note that all volunteer opportunities WCN offers occur in the Bay Area and involve either staffing donor events or assisting with mass mailings. If you are looking for volunteer opportunities in the field, there are many organizations that can assist you, including EarthWatch . Of WCN's partners, Cheetah Conservation Botswana and Cheetah Conservation Fund in Namibia do sometimes accept volunteers, but the application process is completely independent of WCN and we are unable to assist you in placement at either site. Details on their volunteer programs and how to apply can be found on their websites:

Cheetah Conservation Botswana
Cheetah Conservation Fund (Namibia)

Thank you again for your interest in volunteering for wildlife conservation. Here at WCN we could not successfully carry out our work without the amazing volunteers we currently have as part of our family, and we are always looking to expand our network of wonderful people. Please feel free to contact us with any further questions you may have.


WCN Supports Two
Emerging Wildlife Conservation Leaders
The future looks brighter for wildlife thanks to the Emerging Wildlife Conservation Leaders (EWCL) program, which trains the next generation of conservation leaders. Each year WCN sponsors two participants from its international network to participate in EWCL. This April, two young men from Kenya, Peter Lalampaa of Grevy’s Zebra Trust and Jerenimo Lepirei of Save the Elephants, will travel to the U.S. to seize this opportunity. Following a highly competitive application process, EWCL brings together twenty new, emerging leaders in the wildlife conservation field for capacity-building and intense training. By nurturing future leaders, exchanging ideas, and generating tangible conservation products as part of a group campaign exercise, EWCL significantly benefits wildlife conservation around the world.
