Your Impact

As an Environmental volunteer in Thailand - Hua Hin, your volunteer program will start with a visit to a local Mangrove Ecosystem Learning Centre where you will take part in many discussions regarding Thailand’s deep environmental issues and how to raise awareness of them.

Volunteer at a mangrove nursery - 2 days a week

As part of your program, you will work at a local mangrove nursery for 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon for two days a week. This placement is the main nursery that produces young mangrove plants for the local community. Your responsibilities here may involve:
  • Preparing the seed and soil
  • Watering the plants
  • Nursing the plants
  • Planting mangroves

Environmental education - 3 days a week

You will also be heavily engaged in the learning aspect of researching, planning and educating the local community members and children with regards to the importance of sustainable environmental practices.

In order to create awareness and encourage environmental conservation among local people and students, you will be presenting their lectures and training sessions on practical topics such as recycling in the home, reducing one’s carbon footprint, how to separate waste properly, and broader topics like the effects of climate change and the need for environmental concern. An English-speaking coordinator will be there to support and help you out with any language barriers.
