Volunteer
Volunteers have always been the heart and soul of caring for the Cairns & Far North Queensland environment. For over 40 years volunteers have been led CAFNEC’s advocacy to protecting the reef, rainforest & Far North environment and nature.
Do you want to contribute in a more consistent way with CAFNEC? Check out our internship program. We usually open applications in October for the following year.
How you can volunteer
There are a number of ways you can help advocate for the protection of our unique tropical Far North Queensland environment.
These are some of the main areas that we’re always looking for volunteers. But there are lots of odd jobs that come up so if you’re not sure or none of these get you excited, you can put ‘I’m not sure’ on the sign up form!

Our community know what we need, so get involved and make your voice heard. Join our campaign for climate justice and nature.
