Love wildlife? Enjoy working with young people? This is a very unique opportunity with Wolf-Ways. Please see our website for our program description - www.wolfwaysnw.org
This is a fun and rewarding opportunity! It entails helping to present engaging science based wolf education programs to groups and classrooms of young people ages pre-k through 8th grade. WolfWays' educators work in a team of two presenters. Your preference of age range to work with will be considered. Our program does not include working with wolves.
No previous knowledge is needed, as programs and training are provided. Previous teaching experience is helpful, but not necessary. Public speaking confidence is important.
The location and schedule will vary. Daytime availability during the week is required. Volunteer time averages one to two days/month. This opportunity is perfect for those who are retired or work part-time jobs or jobs with flexible hours. Transportation to and from presentation venues are reimbursed.
Please contact us with any questions!

Mission Statement
Oregon Wild works to protect and restore Oregon’s wildlands, wildlife and waters as an enduring legacy for all Oregonians.
Description
Founded in 1974, Oregon Wild (formerly the Oregon Natural Resources Council or ONRC) has been instrumental in securing permanent legislative protection for some of Oregon’s most precious landscapes, including nearly 1.7 million acres of Wilderness, 95,000 acres of forests in Bull Run/Little Sandy watersheds (to safeguard the quality of Portland's water supply) and almost 1,800 miles of Wild and Scenic Rivers. As a leader of the national grassroots charge for conservation of roadless areas in our national forests, Oregon Wild helped secure administrative protections for more than 58 million acres of spectacular roadless areas across the country.
Our wilderness, old-growth forest and clean rivers/watersheds programs protect pristine drinking water, unparalleled recreation opportunities and fish and wildlife habitat across Oregon. With a staff of 13, including regional coordinators, Oregon Wild’s strength is its active grassroots citizen network. Through the power of 4,000 members, over 7,000 e-mail activists and dozens of active volunteers, Oregon Wild works to maintain environmental laws, while building broad community support for our campaigns.
