Volunteering With SPES

You may have asked yourself the question: "What can one person do to help the environment?" Here's your answer... The Stanley Park Ecology Society offers you the chance to connect yourself and others with nature. As a Volunteer with our education and stewardship programs you will help to awaken and enrich appreciation of the species that we live with and the spaces that we share.

If you were to volunteer with us you would be joining a team of approximately 60 other Volunteers and helping to accomplish our mission of encouraging people to become stewards of the natural world. This means that our environmental education and stewardship programs are aimed at inviting the public to become more aware of, appreciative of, and responsible for the condition of the natural world around us.

Our Volunteers are an energetic, dynamic, and diverse crew of dedicated individuals who provide indispensable ongoing support for the Staff and Programs of the Society. With a wide variety of exciting and fulfilling opportunities to choose from, Volunteers enjoy a multitude of challenging and fun learning experiences.

The SPES Volunteer Program is really dedicated to giving our Volunteers a quality experience. Currently, our Volunteers enjoy:

  • Training sessions, featuring expert walks, talks or workshops at low cost or no cost
  • Free admission to guided nature walks offered from SPES's Lost Lagoon Nature House
  • A reduced membership fee

It is our hope that SPES Volunteers continue to learn, enrich and develop their skill sets and knowledge through these ongoing learning opportunities, their Volunteer positions, and the chance to work with like-minded and knowledgeable people.

We welcome persons with diverse backgrounds and life experiences. Join the team that is dedicated to making a difference to your ecological community.
