How does one break into the world of NGOs for conservation and environmental work?
Or by doing some volunteer work for an organization. Try something like the Nature Conservancy. You won’t be doing anything great to start with, but as you meet people and let them know of your experience you might make some contacts along the way which can help you locate something appropriate. More info on them: http://www.nature.org/volunteer/ Taking a few non-degree seeking classes at the university is another chance to network a little with some of the professors. Long shot maybe, but it’s worth a try. And of course just reading the web sites of a lot of environmental organizations might tip you off to some potential needs. There are a ton of them, but here’s a list of the organizations you might want to research: * Abalone Alliance (historic) * African American Environmentalist Association * Adirondack Council * Aldo Leopold Foundation * American Bird Conservancy * American Farmland Trust * American Rivers * Associatio
