Team Vacancies

At Lessons in Conservation we believe that each member of our team is more than just a number, you are part of the family and an important part of the organisation. 

​

LiC is a youth-led non-profit organisation working towards a better future for us all, majority of our funding goes directly towards educating the youth of Africa.

 

This means that team members are part of teams on a volunteer basis without any compensation, you will however gain value skills and work experience that will no doubt give you the upper hand when applying to full time positions in the future.
