COFFEE FOR CONSERVATION
We are looking for a barista to join Island Watch Conservation Initiative from now until 10th June, in the Perhentians. Our organisation is involved with monitoring nesting sea turtles, protecting nests, coral reef management, education and outreach.
This is a great opportunity for someone travelling, with barista skills, looking to learn about marine conservation and get involved.
The Role
We are looking for someone who will help to run our small start up coffee stall, you will be required to prepare and serve coffee to tourists, from our handmade wooden stall, stationed at a beachfront location. The stall will also sell Island Watch merchandise and help raise funds for the marine conservation project.
Food & Accommodation
As this is a start-up venture for a conservation organisation, it is an unpaid position, with accommodation and food provided. You will be living in an open air camp, along conservation volunteers, and are able to learn about the work they do.
Food will be supplied for camp and meals will be served on camp, near to the coffee stall, and all volunteers will cook on a rota basis. To get in touch read the contact details section at the end of the announcement.
