Volunteer in Namibia or Somaliland
Do you want to come to one of CCF’ frontline conservation Field Centres as a volunteer or intern? First of all, THANK YOU! Your interest in our program, and your willingness to contribute to our work is very much appreciated. Volunteering at CCF is a unique opportunity, it is an experience that will have a lasting impact on your life.
Internships, Working Guests, and Zookeepers
CCF accepts a limited number of interns at our International Research and Education Centre in Namibia. Each year a select group of participants will experience conservation work on the frontlines. There are many opportunities to participate in CCF’s science-based, conservation-focused, results-driven programming.
Students with fields of study related to or intersecting with wildlife conservation should apply for an internship at CCF. Interns that are enrolled in a Masters or PhD program are expected to provide background information on their research project. CCF’s Centre in Namibia has a veterinary clinic and a fully-equipped genetics lab.
At both of our Centres, we need volunteers and working guests with professional experience such as zookeepers, animal behavior specialists, ecologists, biologists, veterinarians, and vet-technicians, as well as educators, trainers and conservationists.
At our Centre in Namibia, we accept volunteers with business, finance, law, marketing, public relations, event organizing, graphic design, report writing, proposal writing, fundraising and administrative skills. These functions are vital, “behind-the-scenes”, operations.
The application process is competitive and applications are processed on an ongoing basis according to the schedule below.
