Working with Thriving Earth Exchange as a Volunteer Scientist is an opportunity to collaborate directly with a local community, learn new skills, develop new friends and colleagues, and expand your notion of what it means to be a scientist.
Volunteer Scientists are anyone with skills, expertise, or technical know-how they can contribute to a community science project. We welcome volunteers at any career stage and a broad range of backgrounds such as formal academic training, technical certificates and apprenticeships, on-the-ground experience, and relevant job or volunteer history.
As projects are launched at the request of communities, we recognize that there may not be a current project with needs matching your expertise. If you are interested in volunteering on a future community science project through the Thriving Earth Exchange, please share your information with us in the form below.
If we launch a project that fits your expertise and experience, a Community Science Fellow will contact you discuss the opportunity. Please be aware that it might take some time to find a community whose needs match your skill set but as the Thriving Earth Exchange grows (and expands internationally!), so will our need for scientists!
Note: If you’re interested in managing the development of a community science project, consider becoming a Community Science Fellow! This role is not expertise-specific.
