RRI have been lucky enough to work with some great volunteers, and we are now looking to expand our volunteer programme with the help of a new UK based volunteering website.
Job Splitters has been set up by Michael Chapman, a Lancaster University student, to help students find conservation and volunteering projects from affordable grassroots organisations. His aim is to stop people being put off volunteering by the high prices that some companies charge when organising placements.
The website is a great way for us to be able to reach an international base of talent, and through our volunteer programme, bring new skills and expertise into the organisation. In exchange volunteers get:
• A full induction into the organisation
• Structured programme placement
• Opportunity to learn about different working practices and how to adapt working styles to different cultures
• Chance to learn about environmental and agricultural issues from a Sri Lankan perspective
• A unique chance to immerse themselves in Sri Lankan life and share cultural traditions
> Find out more about our current placements on the Job Splitters website
