HUJ (Armenian Volunteer Exchange Network) is a nonprofit organization that promotes voluntary service and non-formal education through international work camps, 12 long-term ESC projects, and youth exchanges. Founded in 1965, HUJ empowers young people to engage in community development, cultural exchange, and social inclusion both in Armenia and abroad.
Desired volunteer profileWe are looking for a motivated and adaptable volunteer with an interest in environmental protection, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable development. The volunteer should be willing to travel within Armenia and work outdoors in various natural environments. An educational background in environmental sciences or field research experience is an asset but not required. Good physical condition is advisable due to the outdoor nature of the work. Flexibility, teamwork, and a proactive attitude are essential.
Description of the activityThe volunteer will assist in biodiversity monitoring, data coordination, and analysis from camera traps, as well as eco-trail mapping and management. The role will be carried out in rotation between WWF-Armenia and partner organizations such as Arpa Protected Landscape (Vayots Dzor region) and Khosrov Forest State Reserve.
The volunteer will spend the first 1–2 months at the WWF-Armenia office to become familiar with ongoing projects, receive training on fieldwork, and learn to use relevant equipment and software. They will then support staff in wildlife data management, field research, and environmental protection activities.
The volunteer will be provided with free accommodation in a dormitory in Yerevan, located within reasonable distance from the HUJ office. The volunteers will stay in twin rooms (2 people per room) and the dormitory will be equipped with basic furniture and kitchen facilities.
The volunteer will receive a monthly allowance for food, transport and other expenses. The volunteer will benefit from language support and mentorship throughout the project. In addition to their regular project activities, HUJ also organizes a variety of cultural and social events for volunteers. These may include visits to museums, ballet and opera performances, as well as excursions to explore areas outside the capital.
