Wilderness Practicums and Volunteering

Are you looking for conservation-focused wilderness practicums and volunteering where you can develop yourself personally and professionally, reconnect to nature and play a part in meaningful conservation projects? And all this while living in a supportive community where you can increase your self-sufficiency, experience real empowerment and become more conscious and aware? When you volunteer with us, you won’t be restricted to just one activity. With every volunteering opportunity, you can gain experience with marketing and education in the office, outside with the animals, educating guests, in our sustainable woodlot or on conservation projects.

You can join us for a practicum for your required university internship, or volunteer to gain work and life experience, or just to try something new.

All of our volunteering opportunities are facilitated by our conservation partner, the Chilcotin Ark Institute. While  you will have the opportunity to get involved in all aspects of conservation, these are some of the specific opportunities available to you:

• Biodiversity and wildlife conservation
• Sustainable forestry and ecology
• Conservation marketing
• Non-profit administration
• Ranch research centre
• Conservation education and guiding
