Programs like Northern Bear Awareness would not exist without volunteers. If you would like to help your community reduce human bear conflicts by donating your time and skills, there are several opportunities available. Opportunities can be short term (a couple of hours) or more consistent.
If you are interested in spending an hour or two a week canvassing neighbourhoods and speaking to people in high-risk areas, please call us! We’ll get together, decide which areas need to be visited and get out there.
Garbage Audit
Help raise awareness by putting “Bear Attractant” signs on garbage cans left out overnight to raise awareness of garbage and bears.
Event Booth Attendants
Do you like to speak in public? Northern Bear Awareness participates in several festivals and events during the year and is always looking for volunteers to help at the display.
Training Provided
All volunteers recieve training and a volunteer manual.
