Position details

Commitment:

Any Day

Wilder Welcome Volunteers work with the community, supporting our goal to grow a movement for nature. We are looking for volunteers to deliver talks to groups of people, ranging from small intimate groups to larger audiences, in person, online and hybrid talks. We believe everyone, no matter the background, can help to protect wildlife and enhance green spaces for nature and wellbeing. Therefore, having free access to this knowledge within communities is vital.  

All volunteers are asked to agree to our Volunteers Code of Conduct.

FAQs

What does this role involve?

This role will mean you are part of a volunteering team that delivers talks on an as-needed basis. These talks are essential to help us spread the word about the need to take action for nature. Our key audience will be the public and not nature specialists, so we don’t expect you to be an expert ecologist! Together we will develop a series of talks on offer for people to choose from. 

Do I need experience?

We are seeking a friendly, enthusiastic person who is a confident public speaker, can communicate well with all members of the public and who has a passion for nature. Full training will be provided so no specific experience is needed, but if you’ve been involved in delivering or organising talks in the past, we’d love to hear from you.  

Volunteers will need to provide their own laptop running Microsoft Powerpoint onto which they will download the presentation(s).
