New England Primate Conservancy is a grassroots nonprofit organization that depends upon the skill, talents, and generosity of its volunteers to accomplish the essential and important tasks associated with animal protection, care and humane education. Our volunteers make our programs successful!
We'll work with your schedule. Volunteer opportunities do not require a prescribed number of months, but they do require the commitment of your time and talents. We ask you to honor your commitment to the number of hours per week that you pledge to us upon signing on as a volunteer. Since you may be largely self-managed, we expect you to honor those commitments and meet your deadlines.
Whether it's writing for our Primate Species Profiles series, developing educational activities and lessons, designing graphics, developing videos, fundraising, or planning events, there is something for almost everyone who wants to do their part to help animals.
We do not have any paid employment opportunities at this time. If you are interested in a volunteer, please check out the open positions and email us with your interest and qualifications, as requested.
Please email us with your interest and resume or CV. Email addresses are listed after each volunteer job description.
No phone inquiries please.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Seasoned Writer with a Passion for Wildlife Conservation
Are you a talented and seasoned writer? Are you passionate about wildlife conservation? Do you love digging into wildlife facts and crafting stories about what you've learned? If so, this volunteer opportunity may be for you!
New England Primate Conservancy is committed to leaving a legacy of hope and tools to build a better tomorrow for all the Earth's citizens.
At NEPC, we strive to make the complex science behind environmental protection, animal protection, and wildlife conservation easy to understand so that the average person can assess, consider, and modify their own impact on the natural world. We pour through science-based publications and "translate" them into language that everyone can embrace. We even succeed at making it fun, when appropriate.
We are seeking talented writers for our Primate Species Profiles series, the backbone of our education programs. We find our Primate Species Profiles cited widely throughout the internet by conservation sites, wiki sites, zoos, bloggers, news agencies, magazines, other animal protection and conservation organizations, and more. In addition-and very importantly-they are used by students for their school projects.
Nowhere else can one find so many primate species so thoroughly yet concisely profiled in easy-to-understand, non-scientific, non-academic language that everyone can comprehend and enjoy. This is what makes the information that we provide so accessible and so popular.
Creative writing and thorough factual research are required.
This volunteer position can be accomplished from your home, with email, Zoom, and phone correspondence with the Education Team.
If you are a mature writer with a passion for conservation and wildlife protection, this opportunity may be for you.
Minimum age 28.
10-20 hours per month. We'll work with your schedule.
Please send your letter of interest, writing sample, and resume or CV to:

Looking for a Creative Thinker to Develop Project-Based Educational ContenT
gWith the expanded implementation of online and hybrid learning strategies, we've ramped up development of educational content that makes it easier for teachers to teach, for students to learn, and for parents to adapt to their unwitting and unfamiliar roles as academic coaches.
New England Primate Conservancy is a conservation and animal protection organization that is committed to leaving a legacy of hope and tools to build a better tomorrow for all the Earth's citizens. Education is the heart of animal protection. 70% of our primate cousins are threatened by extinction. All are threatened by human activities. If they are at risk, so too is every other species that share their environment. Saving one species saves many.
For this volunteer opportunity, you should have experience creating project-based educational content for grades K-12 or for specific age-groups in between. The activities will be accessible via the NEPC website. They could be online activities, printable activities, or a combination of both. For example, our current activities include videos, slideshows, graphics, and downloadable games.
If you’re an experienced teacher, this opportunity may be for you.
If you are a creative individual with learning activity development experience plus a passion for conservation and wildlife protection, this opportunity may be for you.
Familiarity with primatology, anthropology, conservation-related issues, earth sciences, environmental protection, or primate-related subject matter would be beneficial. Understanding of STEM or STEAM standards-all the better.
This volunteer position can be accomplished from your home, with email and phone correspondence with the Education Team Director. You must have internet and email access. NEPC will provide access to appropriate apps.
Minimum age 28.
10-20 hours per month. We'll work with your schedule. More time may be required during the activity creation process. Less other times.
