About Program
Tacugama runs eco-tourism activities such as sanctuary tours, hikes, eco-lodges and events to fundraise for the care of the resident chimpanzees and raise awareness of the critical state of the chimpanzees in Sierra Leone. Events are organized at Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary and in Freetown, and are very diverse (Yoga retreat, movie nights, kids activities, live music nights...). Tacugama also welcomes eco-volunteers who come to visit Sierra Leone and Tacugama, and who come for internships and research projects.
Tacugama is currently seeking a volunteer eco-tourism coordinator to support eco-tourism activities at Tacugama. The eco-tourism coordinator will directly report to the Operations Manager.
Principal duties include eco-tourism coordination (eco-lodges, hikes, tours...), event planning (yoga retreat, jazz nights, movie nights...) and eco-volunteer team coordination (from recruitment to on-site coordination).
