The African Conservation Fund

The challenge is great. Many of the existing conservation bodies have not begun to tackle the critical themes that threaten the essence of East Africa's vital ecosystems. Through community-based collaborative management, a proactive approach, and your help, African Conservation Fund will meet this challenge.

Volunteer

We are looking for enthusiastic individuals who can donate their time to the cause. We are most in need of people to help us grow our network of supporters in the U.S. We do not have a formal program for volunteers in Africa, but will consider people on a case-by-case basis; we do not offer formal internships for students or recent graduates. We are most in need of skilled professionals who can travel independently in East Africa.

Current needs in the US:

•    Outreach assistance – Are you good at planning events and mobilizing people? Help us reach other people who are passionate about African wildlife and cultures.

•    Do you have experience creating web-commerce businesses and/or importing arts and crafts from outside the US and selling it here? Help us create a funds-generating business connecting with community-conservation oriented artists in East Africa and getting their products to market.

•    Do you have experience with micro-loans and setting up business incubators for Third World enterprises? Help us create a new program for nurturing conservation enterprises in East Africa.
