THE VOLUNTEER PROGRAMME
ECO-UNESCO volunteer program is designed to encourage people to assist the organisation in delivering its environmental programmes and services to as many young people as possible.

Volunteers are encouraged to work in the areas that most appeal to them and where they will derive maximum personal benefit.
From one day projects to a long term arrangements, ECO-UNESCO offers its volunteers a very wide range of opportunities to gain experience in a variety of areas including environmental conservation youth work, environmental skills training, arts and design, desktop publishing, advertising and publicity, project management, environmental research, educational practice, marketing and business development etc.
