Volunteer Opportunities
The CPAWS Yukon Board of Directors plays a very important role. We appreciate the great people who volunteer their time and contribute to our important work. Our board is a governance board and provides strategic direction to our organization while the day-to-day campaign work is done by our team of employees. Our organization made a Commitment to Reconciliation and wrote the document How we Work—both give you good insight in our values.
We are always looking forward to hearing from individuals who are interested in joining our board. We welcome individuals with a broad range of personal and professional experience. There are no requirements for a certain educational background, nor do you need to have previous experience as a board member. The most important qualities are passion for the work, an interest in non-profit leadership, and the ability and willingness to work with our dedicated team of volunteers and employees on Yukon’s conservation issues. CPAWS Yukon is invested in providing learning opportunities to less experienced individuals who express a strong interest and are willing to learn ‘on the job’.

Thank you to all our volunteers and supporters. <3
