Volunteering at FWA
Written by Admin
Each year more than 350 dedicated volunteers commit their time and efforts to help run FortWhyte Alive and its many year-round programs.
“They come from all walks of life and in all stages of life,” says Michelle Eldridge, Director of Human and Volunteer Resources. “The end result is a dynamic mosaic of energy, skill and knowledge that enriches the whole organization and radiates outward into the community.”
From students hoping to learn more about nature and the ecosystem, to retired individuals looking to spend their time in the outdoors to everyone in between–the volunteers at FortWhyte Alive say the experience is truly rewarding.
“It’s a place where you are appreciated for your time and effort and where your work matters because you are teaching people to enjoy the outdoors,” says 70-year-old Annette Bell, volunteer for over 20 years. “You get as much out of the experience as you put into it.”
With several year-round and seasonal roles to fill such as bird walk leaders, youth program leaders, gardeners and much more–FortWhyte is always looking for nature lovers to lend a helping hand.
