Pros
While working at Frontier I have met many amazing people and made friends for life. Working as a volunteer coordinator comes with a large amount of welcomed responsibility and allowed me to experience another side to conservation, where our volunteers are vital to the data collected and the work done in the field. One of my favored elements of working at Frontier was participating in events at educational institutions, this gave me the chance to talk with like-minded people as well as network with other NGO’s and charitable organization. At these events, I enjoyed getting the younger generation excited about travel and conservation, as well as sharing my knowledge with them! I highly recommend others getting involved with Frontier whether this is through the internships at London HQ or on their overseas placements and volunteering programmes!
Cons
Unfortunately, where I was based at home made the commute difficult to sustain.
