Volunteer would be responsible for writing projects that meet donor specifications, sources for funds and if possible help to conceive projects. He will also be responsible for identifying potential funders and contacting them in relation to projects at hand.

Green Cameroon was founded in 2003 with a mission to Conserve Cameroons rich biodiversity by working on practical solutions to solve conservation problems. We pay close attention to sustainable development, rural community livelihood and contemporary environmental issues. Green Cameroon was formed with a strong commitment to fighting environmental problems in our communities like deforestation, desertification, unsustainable farming practices, improper waste disposal methods, water scarcity, health problems linked to sanitation and general lukewarm attitude towards environmental and sustainable development issues. Green Cameroon helps local community members to live better lives by improving on living standards alongside making scarce resources available for posterity. Our Vision is; healthy ecosystems and local Cameroonian communities that are well equipped with the necessary skills and resources to achieve development without jeopardising the position of future generations.
