There are many different ways you can fundraise with The Orangutan Project. How you volunteer is up to you.

Our volunteers contribute in three main ways:

1. Organising fundraising stalls at local markets, community festivals or expos 2. Organising fundraising events such as a trivia night, movie night or wine tasting 3. Assisting at stalls and events organised by other volunteers

You choose which way you want to help! There will be support, training and guidance from our staff and other experienced volunteers. No prior experience is needed to help out!
