WREN: Autumn 2014 Volunteer Orientation/Meet & Greet

Willamette Resources & Educational Network (WREN) is currently seeking volunteers who love the West Eugene Wetlands, are passionate about this unique ecosystem, and want to give back to the community in a meaningful way.

As a Wetlands Educator you will assist WREN staff with classroom and/or field programs, community events, prepare education materials, conduct workshops, and complete special projects. WREN will provide special training for all Education Guides and we offer opportunities for you to shadow an experienced guide before you take the lead yourself.

We are also looking for creative, skilled Operations Volunteers. Whether your specialty is in social media, web development and design, fundraising and/or grant writing, event planning, photography/filming, membership development, or general office, we have projects to match your interests.

WREN has opportunities for college students looking to fulfill requirements for graduation, as well as unpaid internships.
