Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteer opportunities for research in the field are not available for the rest of 2011, the project is currently in a phase of data analysis.  Information will be posted here as and when there are opportunities available for research volunteers.
Artist volunteers are welcome at any time of year and there may be opportunities to paint murals in various locations.  Note that not all volunteer applications are accepted and that the availability of a space is not the only criteria. 
There are currently no opportunities for  volunteer photographers and film makers or teaching assistant volunteers.
Field research volunteer opportunities might be available again in late 2012, but no date has yet been fixed.  Information will be published here when a start date has been set, and we will not be replying to applications before then.  Alternatively, FZE's condor conservation project also offers volunteers the chance to help catalogue camera trap photos of Andean bears as well as observing wild and captive Andean condors.  There are various volunteer and intern opportunities at Quito Zoo.
If you wish to volunteer or intern with a friend or partner you should apply in plenty of time.  To apply, follow the instructions in the Mural Artist Volunteer Information Pack PDF.
