VOLUNTEER WITH ACUG Join Our Volunteer Community

Avian Conservation Uganda (ACUG) welcomes passionate individuals who want to contribute their time, skills, and energy toward protecting Uganda’s birds and their habitats.

Volunteers may contribute in different ways depending on their interests and expertise. Some support bird monitoring and conservation activities, while others assist with communication, research, education, fundraising, or organizational development.

We welcome people with diverse skills and backgrounds who are motivated to support conservation and environmental awareness.

Volunteer roles may be remote or in person, depending on the nature of the work and the volunteer’s location. Our volunteers may be local or international, experienced professionals, retirees, or individuals just beginning their conservation journey.

Senior Volunteer Advisors

ACUG also welcomes experienced professionals who wish to contribute their expertise in an advisory capacity.

Senior volunteers may provide mentorship, strategic guidance, or technical support in areas such as conservation, organizational development, communications, finance, or project management.

This flexible program allows professionals to support conservation efforts while contributing a few hours of their time each week.
