Are you a seasoned and talented content editor? Are you passionate about wildlife conservation? Are you fascinated by nonhuman primates?
Through our humane education programs, New England Primate Conservancy is committed to leaving a legacy of hope, and tools to create a better tomorrow for all the Earth's citizens. We offer fun learning activities, engaging lesson plans, stories, facts, presentations, videos, and a wealth of resources for one’s personal interest or to create stimulating multi-disciplinary learning environments... because education is the heart of animal protection.
New England Primate Conservancy's team of writers creates educational content for all ages and education levels to give readers glimpses into the worlds of nonhuman primates and their relationships to issues of conservation. As our volunteer writing team has grown, so too has our need for content editing to not only catch spelling, grammatical, and layout inconsistencies, but also to ensure that the tone is consistent across the board (following our style guide), while, at the same time, allowing each author to retain her or his "voice". In addition, we need a sharp eye to review content on our website for the same sorts of consistency. (Fact-checking NOT required.)
This volunteer position can be accomplished from your home, with close email and phone correspondence with the NEPC’s founder, the writers, and graphic designers.
If you are a seasoned editor with a passion for conservation and wildlife protection, this opportunity may be for you.
You must have internet and email access. NEPC will provide access to appropriate apps.

Mission Statement
New England Primate Conservancy is committed to leaving a legacy of hope and tools to create a better tomorrow for all of the Earth's citizens.
Description
Did you know that almost three-quarters of all primate species are threatened? All nonhuman primates are threatened by habitat loss caused by human activities. But there is hope. Since the problems are caused by human activity, they are preventable, repairable, and reversible. We can each take small steps in our daily lives, in our daily choices, to create change for the better.
In addition to raising awareness about our environmental impact, humane education strives to develop empathy and tolerance toward all creatures, which facilitates the leap to empathy and tolerance for differences in people. Over 30 years of studies confirm the direct correlation between abuse and neglect of animals and violence against people. By the same token, compassion for our fellow animals can be an indicator of our compassion for each other. When we protect and advocate for our fellow animals, we are part of a much larger solution. Join us. Contribute to the solution.
