Jantu Conservancy Volunteer Team

Join Jantu Conservancy — Wildlife & Conservation Volunteers

Jantu Conservancy is building a volunteer team of people who want to turn an interest in wildlife and conservation into action.

Jantu is a youth-led wildlife and environmental education organization based in New Jersey. Our mission is to create meaningful connections between people, wildlife, and conservation through Education, Advocacy, Community, and Impact.

We're looking for volunteers who want to help build projects, gain experience, meet others interested in conservation, and make a real contribution to our work.

Who We're Looking For

You don't need previous nonprofit or conservation experience to get involved.

We're looking for people who are:

• Interested in wildlife, conservation, environmental issues, or education
• Reliable and willing to communicate
• Willing to learn and take initiative
• Comfortable working independently and with others
• Interested in contributing consistently
• Willing to participate in person when opportunities are available, especially for hands-on projects

Students and young adults are especially encouraged to apply, but anyone interested in supporting Jantu's mission is welcome.

What You Can Gain

Volunteering with Jantu can provide experience in wildlife conservation, environmental education, nonprofit work, advocacy, communications, community outreach, event planning, and project development.

Because Jantu is a young organization, volunteers can contribute ideas, help shape projects, take on new responsibilities, and see how an organization develops from the ground up.

We're looking for people who want to do something — whether that's researching a conservation issue, creating educational content, helping organize an event, connecting with the community, or getting outside with us for hands-on conservation work.

If you're interested in wildlife and conservation and want to help build something with us, we'd love to hear from you.
