Description

There are over 50 bears living at the inspiring sanctuary. The bears are being rehabilitated after years of misery in circuses or as tourist attractions in tiny cages. It is fantastic to see these beautiful animals living happier lives and you will help achieve this by working alongside a very dedicated team of Romanian workers.

You have to be happy to turn your hand to all tasks in the day to day running. Volunteers need to enjoy being outdoors, be passionate about bears and be able to do moderately physical work as part of a team. The nature of the work means that volunteers wanting to stay from 1 week to 3 months are all equally welcome and valued.

Highlights

- Working outdoors in one of the most beautiful places in Romania.
- Being part of an exciting venture hoping to grow into a groundbreaking animal sanctuary.
- Making great friends, from your group, the staff and from Brasov.
- Enjoying Brasov's vibrant social scene and surrounding beauty.
- Discovering a tucked away corner of Eastern Europe.
