Travelnitch is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that needs help developing family-centric travel content to engage kids (and sometimes parents) in fun and innovative ways. If you are a writer who loves to travel, this could be the perfect fit for you—turn your own passion into an inspiring story for our readers!

We are currently seeking volunteers who love to travel and write about it. You should be able to craft meaningful content in the following categories:

— Travelnitch Eats: Whether it’s a new take on an old world recipe or a deep dive into a city’s best eateries, this is for foodies (young and old) who travel to eat.

— Family Travel: We love sharing hands-on activities that get kids (and sometimes whole families) excited about travel.

— Virtual Adventures: Take a deep-dive into the destination of your choice. Highlight fun & quirky sights and exotic excursions to help kids build the ultimate travel wishlist. Think of it as a travel guide, written for young explorers.

— Strange and Spooky: These stories introduce young readers to strange and spooky phenomenon from around the world. From historical legends to natural phenomenon, if it’s weird or bone-chilling we want to write about it.

— Travelnitch Outdoors: A passion for travel can stem from a love of the outdoors. Share your favorite family-friendly campsites, hiking trails, and outdoor activities to help families feel more connected to mother nature.

We will provide a list of topics, but also encourage our writers to make recommendations. All stories are shared on our website and across various social channels. They include an author’s bio with an optional link to your own portfolio or site.

As a nonprofit, we rely on the generosity of volunteers to help further our mission. Together, we engage families through thoughtful content and informative, online programming. We'd love your support—reach out today!

OVERVIEW

The SEED Conservation Research Programme (SCRP) is based in the beautiful coastal area of Sainte Luce, surrounded by extremely rare and threatened fragments of littoral forest. Join us and you will carry out important, hands-on, conservation fieldwork with species including lemurs, bats, chameleons and amphibians, help with community initiatives, and environmental education. You'll also have the chance to explore the local area, meet some amazing people and enjoy some spectacular sunsets.

The southern littoral forest in Sainte Luce is one of only three significant areas of this forest type remaining in Madagascar, having been reduced by over 90%. As the forest has both high biodiversity and a heavily reliant local population, we work to combine scientific research with community conservation to build knowledge and capacity in the area.

Currently, our research focuses on biodiversity, collecting data about species present, their distribution, density, behaviour and habitats. Study species include lemurs, geckos, chameleons, bats and many more. The data is used to better manage the forests, support the local community and protect the species concerned. Volunteers also help to run regular environmental education classes for local children.

WHY ARE VOLUNTEERS NEEDED?

Conservation Volunteers provide vital support to the long-term research staff with collecting research data on the coastal forest ecosystem. The more people that help search along a transect, the more likely we are to record everything in the area.
Data collected on these projects is used to inform and educate governments, businesses and communities responsible for the conservation of these areas and species. Some of our projects include:
• Long term monitoring of lemurs, amphibians and reptiles—Creating long term datasets that provide information on population densities, ecological preference of species and changes over time.
• Project Ala—Increase and improve viable habitat for two endangered species of lemur and a newly discovered mouse lemur in the Sainte Luce littoral forest, through corridor reforestation coupled with strengthened local and regional capacity to support the conservation of lemurs and their natural habitats.
• Project Rufus—Conducting research and education to enhance the long-term survival of Madagascar’s flying fox bats.

DATE/TIME NOTES
Our Conservation Research Programme is designed as a 10-week programme starting at the beginning of January, April, July and October each year. You can join from a minimum of 2 weeks, up to a maximum of 10 weeks. To participate in the full range of activities you will want to stay for the full 10 weeks!

Having grown up in a time where cellphones were non-existent and when snail mail was one of the most common methods of communication, seniors across Canada would greatly benefit from receiving a handwritten card. Receiving an uplifting card has the ability to create a connection with the community, which many seniors are lacking due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Feelings of social isolation and loneliness among our seniors have been serious consequences of the ongoing pandemic, as restrictions reduce the ability to see loved ones face-to-face. By receiving handwritten cards, our goal is to spread some sunshine to as many seniors as possible throughout Canada, and we need your help to do so!

We would like native English or German speaker to help review our language on our platform and provide feedback.

Examples of possible responsibilities include:
Individual Donors
a. Identify potential donors
b. Assist in requesting funds
Event Planning Assistant
a. Work with staff to plan aspects of special events
b. Assist with planning
c. Assist with setup and running event

Having dedicated help in planning and running events & in reaching out to new potential donors would really expand our resources and support. For a small team, planning events and making time for donor recruitment is a struggle. Program demands take precedents and lack of skill and experience in fundraising and event planning holds us back.
