What we need from you in return for changing your life...
Here's the deal
WWF will invest its time, energy and resources in order to get you out into the field, on the ground, experiencing first hand conservation work where it's really needed.
But this isn't one way traffic.
In return, WWF wants you to inspire the rest of the world.
There is a huge if not massive number of people out there who would give their right arm, left leg and back teeth in order to get a shot at being a WWF Volunteer (figuratively speaking , of course :-).
Obviously we can't help everyone - as much as we'd like to make the most of this massive army of caring, passionate and committed people.
So the next best thing is that those lucky people who get to go out into the field must report back to their kindred souls out there.
WWF wants its volunteers to write, take photos, take films, make sound recordings - whatever inspires you - in order to inspre others.
To get the thousands of friends-you-have-not yet-met, with your help, to have a feel for what it's like on the ground. What the reality is of working with a real-life lives-matter conservation project.
We want your experiences. Your thoughts. Your insights. Your creativity.
There's no right or wrong thing to say, so long as you are just being honest and telling it like it is.
That's the deal.
And here's the future deal...
It's in the pipeline, but we'll be building a special area where you will be able to blog your experiences online, on this site.
As a WWF Volunteer you're going to have and come back with a wealth of experience and we'd like you to pass that on.
To take part in discussions.
To encourage other people not as lucky as you, to post their experiences, insights and thoughts on the environment in which they live, or which they've visited.
To act, given your status, almost as a mentor for others. To hand out or perhaps "teach" what you know and what you've learnt, so that all those others out there who care just as passionately as you about our environment can benefit from and be inspired by your own successes.
We hope this is not too much to ask in return for changing your life...?
