We are seeking passionate and dedicated Community Engagement & Social Development Volunteers to join our forest restoration project in Uganda. As part of this initiative, we are planting indigenous trees on two parcels of land (10 acres and 20 acres) in two Ugandan villages to restore ecosystems and protect the environment for future generations.
The involvement of the local communities is essential to the long-term success of this project. Therefore, we need volunteers who are experienced in community engagement, social development, and environmental education. You will help empower local people, raise awareness, and ensure that the community plays an active role in the restoration and sustainable management of the land.
As a Community Engagement & Social Development Volunteer, your work will have a significant social impact, directly improving the lives of local families and fostering community ownership of environmental projects.
