Program Impact
Volunteers will be allocated specific duties dependent upon individual experience, interest and current openings. However, all volunteers should be willing to help out with any aspect of Colobus Conservation’s work when required and to change topics if a crisis arises.
Volunteers work alternate 5 days - 6 day weeks and Saturday and Sunday are considered a normal working day. You should be prepared for often challenging and hard work, and in the case of orphan care, around the clock feeding.
You will be given 1-2 days off per week which can be variable according to volunteer numbers and animal care workload. We strongly recommend volunteers to take time to go on safari and if you wish to be away for longer than your volunteer days allow, simply consult with the Volunteer Coordinator.
Volunteering is a rewarding experience and the more you put into this opportunity, the more you will get out of it. Working together with like-minded individuals you will be able to see first hand how your actions benefit Diani Forest and it’s wildlife.
