Are There Volunteer Opportunities in Galapagos?
Both the Charles Darwin Research Station and the Galapagos National Park have volunteer opportunities, which are both time-specific and job-specific. Most volunteers work directly with the Station, based in Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz Island, carrying out research, conservation and education, public relations or administrative activities. There is not an expected length of stay, although generally the longer the volunteer can stay in the islands, the greater the contribution he/she can make. Therefore, volunteers available for 6 months or longer have a higher chance of acceptance. This of course will vary depending on the project or activity and will be discussed on an individual basis prior to the volunteers’ arrival. The CDRS does not offer internships, post-docs, study grants, traineeships, exchanges or travel grants. The staff asks that you send down your resume, with a short note identifying your skills and availability to: Head of External Relations. Email address: cdrs@fcdarwin.org
