The World Wide Fund (WWF) Young Adult volunteer programme aims to provide motivated and committed young people with an opportunity to engage in the conservation of the environment, regardless of their backgrounds, and work on WWF conservation projects internationally through a facilitated 3-6 month assignment, including hands-on engagement in WWF field projects and exposure to local conservation practitioners, scientists and communities. This unique experience enables them to raise awareness about nature conservation on their return home and helps develop the next generation of conservationists and future leaders in sustainable development.
