The Natural Step is always seeking friendly and flexible office volunteers to help out with various projects. We welcome anyone who is eager to assist, believes in The Natural Step's mission and is a conscientious, responsible worker.
Although many volunteer opportunities revolve around clerical and research support functions based in our office at Lincoln, there are also longer-term projects that become available depending on the current schedule of events, research projects and funding cycles. We prefer volunteers who are able to commit to a weekly schedule for at least 3 months time.
If you're interested in volunteering, email your resumé and a letter telling us more about your skills, expertise and any volunteer project ideas to Maria Fairburn or Lin Roberts.
