CCF Volunteer Programme

Judith Walls, Volunteer Co-ordinator - and volunteer!

Welcome to the Cheetah Conservation Fund volunteer programme. This page links to the section of the CCF US web site that provides information on how to volunteer with CCF in Namibia and Kenya. We have programmes for general volunteers (working guests), student internships (including Masters & Ph.D. students) and zookeepers. To apply, select the relevant programme from the list below, and follow the instructions. You will be taken to the US cheetah.org web site volunteer section.

CCF programmes

All our volunteer programmes require a mandatory donation. However, discounted/subsidised fees are available for student interns and zookeepers, and also for Namibian, South African and Kenyan citizens. We charge a fee for volunteering to cover the costs of training and supervising our volunteers, as well as the costs of room and board. Your contribution also ensures the future of our programmes.

CCF does not provide funding or scholarships for volunteers, interns or zookeepers. Many of our volunteers are successful in seeking funding through their schools, friends and family, local community, employers or other special programmes. If you need information on CCF to complete grant proposals, you can search this site and also look at our annual and mid-year reports for details.

In general, we do not have employment opportunities for the tasks and positions described in these pages. One of CCF's goals is to build capacity locally and provide opportunities for citizens of the countries in which we operate (i.e. Namibia and Kenya). In doing so, we work together with many international institutions to transfer and build skills and knowledge to people in Namibia and Kenya.

Sincerely,

Judith Walls
