Are you a young person aged between 14-18?
Do you love being outside in nature?
Do you want to train and learn in outdoor education?
Are you looking for work experience and more responsibility?
Do you want to be part of our mission to inspire change in people's relationship with the natural world?
We are offering an exciting new opportunity for young people to become young mentors at Project Rewild where you will build confidence, work ethic and leadership skills.
Volunteer and train.
- Learn advanced outdoor skills: Fire lighting, shelter building, foraging, fire cooking etc.
- Learn mentoring practices in order to work with groups of children.
- Learn more about natural history, conservation and environmental sustainability.
- Understand basic policies and procedures
- Young mentors will also receive bi-monthly group supervision and be part of creating a local environmental youth hub.
The training and work experience will last 1 year. After this they will receive a certificate showing they have gained necessary knowledge and skills, improving the chance of employability.
There will also be an opportunity to receive an Outdoor First Aid qualification and Forest School qualification (Forest school – Level 1).
