Volunteers



 

  
Volunteers are essential to our work, and current opportunities are diverse -- everything from working from your home computer to spending several months living and working in the jungle.  Opportunities to work in the jungle vary with the season, and are suitable for volunteers able to work independently in rustic conditions and make a minimum two-week  commitment.  Volunteers are asked to contribute $5/day are provided with food and housing with the host family at the Seed Center.  The daily activities and focus of you work will be developed collaboratively with the local project coordinator.  Considerable flexibility is possible for volunteers with ideas of specific projects, or you may choose to work on ongoing projects needing extra hands!
