Volunteering

Other Volunteer Opportunities. If you are unable to volunteer with us, here are some alternatives to being on our volunteer team:
  • Volunteer Programme "EXPLORE!"
    WWF is running a new, global volunteer programme for a select number of young people (20-27 years old). You must submit the Explore Volunteer Programme application form to start. If you get selected, if you've got what it takes... you're going to be in for the experience of a lifetime... Check it out at: www.panda.org/explore
     
  • Become a Community Panda!
    Host an event for WWF-Canada and raise awareness and funds to protect Canada's wildlife and wild places. It's easy to do! Your event can be a bake sale, garage sale, bike-a-thon, birthday party or holiday party. It's a great way to get involved and at the same time have fun with your family, friends, community group and others. If you're interested in organizing an event, go to our Community Pandas website or call us at 1-800-267-2632. We'll customize a Community Pandas package specifically for your event.
