​Our volunteer programme went into lockdown in March, (came out of it in July!!), and during the interval our dedicated team in Tenerife worked on developing a Virtual Volunteering ‘programme’, drawing on the support of our extensive volunteer and faculty networks.
 
The aim of Virtual Volunteering is to give individuals opportunity to stay involved in ‘making a difference’ when they were unable to leave their homes.

Examples of the great work they produced can be seen below.

Going forward we are adapting this programme to work with students looking to undertake work experience in this post lockdown period of the Covid-19 pandemic. This can be either stand alone, with no travel involved or can be combined with physical work experience now with our programme in Tenerife (and, later on, with our programmes in Sri Lanka, Vietnam etc). We have developed a robust on line mentor framework to provide the support students may require.
 
We have developed our volunteer programmes to be Covid-19 secure subject to students being socially responsible and have developed processes to ensure that socially irresponsible students do not get accepted. 
 
Work experience, volunteer and actual, can be facilitated through our programmes in a variety of areas and we have dedicated staff in each area to act as mentors:

  • Cetacean Research
  • Animal Welfare
  • Education
  • Enterprise Development
  • Film & Photography
  • Eco-Tourism
  • Conservation
