DSWF is incredibly fortunate to have a passionate team of individuals, who voluntarily give up their free time in support of its work to fight wildlife crime. The Foundation could not achieve what it does without these special people who share its values and commitment to protecting endangered species.
If you are interested in volunteering with DSWF, please look at the areas and activities our volunteers support us with below, and the skills we are always in need of. Ideally we are looking for regular hours per week or month over a longer period of time, to make training and equipment cost effective and for relationships to develop.
Paid opportunities to work for DSWF will be advertised on the Careers page
We welcome support from those who are able to join us in our Shalford office (near Guildford), to help with some of the day-to-day admin that is vital to keep the Foundation running.

Key skills of interest include:
As a small team, we are always on the lookout for volunteers to help at our various events including the Wildlife Artist of the Year exhibition in London, the annual Wildlife Ball, Challenge events such as the London Marathon and local community events.

Due to our small size, DSWF is limited in its ability to offer regular internships, and any positions that do become available will be advertised via the Careers page on our website and on social media.
