Program Details

The digital media volunteer will play an important role in story capturing, content creation, and sharing across the social media platforms.

The primary goal will be to increase exposure of our programs by ensuring timely delivery of online content, increase user engagement, develop and execute social media strategies, research future trends and proactively apply them, and continue to build and advance the brand.

Volunteer needs to be passionate about educating, nature, culture, and adventure. Most of your work will be in the rainforest of Panama, taking photos and videos during field excursions.
