Ways to Volunteer
Volunteers have always been the heart and soul of CAFNEC. For over 30 years volunteers have provided us with a huge amount of support for our campaigns and day-to-day activities.
There are many ways you can help advocate for the protection of our unique tropical Far North Queensland environment – from office administration to research, media and promotions to event logistics. Volunteers also gain valuable experience and skills in campaigning, running events and various other areas.
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”
– MARGARET MEAD
