Join
International Volunteer HQ, the world’s leading volunteer travel organization, on the
Environmental Education Volunteer Project in New Zealand.
You will help keep New Zealand clean and green by visiting local schools to deliver presentations about marine litter, coastal protection, freshwater ecosystems and restoring waterways. Volunteers gain experience in environmental conservation, education and public speaking while encouraging the next generation to live in a more environmentally friendly, sustainable manner and educating them about why it’s so important for the future of their country and the world.
Volunteers stay in a dormitory-style lodge in the heart of Auckland. The hostel is comfortable, modern, safe and has super friendly staff.
Programs
start on the first and third Monday of the month throughout the year.
This program ranges from 3-12 weeks. Your fully-hosted experience includes airport pick-up, orientation, accommodation, meals and 24/7 support. Detailed pricing information for your duration is available
on our website.
Your Impact
As an Environmental Education volunteer, you’ll visit schools delivering presentations about marine litter, coastal protection, freshwater ecosystems and restoring waterways. You’ll be speaking to students who range in age from 5 to 18, educating them about the current state of the environment and why it’s important to maintain an eco-friendly lifestyle.
Along with delivering presentations, you also have the option of designing and running workshops for schools at the local team’s unique education venue. These workshops are a chance to be creative and practical, and can involve:
- Making presentations
- Sewing reusable bags
- Upcycling projects
- Tree planting
- Coastal clean-ups
- Gardening
This project is an awesome opportunity to take the lead on executing an environmental education campaign from start to finish; from liaising with teachers and booking in presentations, to reporting results and debriefing team members.
