Leadership Opportunities

Ontario Nature believes in the power of individual leaders to make a lasting difference in their communities. For this reason, Volunteer for Nature offers training courses to provide interested people with the opportunity to learn how to lead. A two-day Leadership Training Course will help you develop important group and project management skills, and increase your confidence in leading volunteers in the field. Use your new skills by leading a Volunteer for Nature event with Ontario Nature, or by organizing a community project in your neighborhood.

Training Course Components

Level I: Introduction to Conservation project Leadership – this introductory session will introduce participants to the Volunteer for Nature program, and outline general leadership concepts and techniques, communication strategies and problem solving skills. If possible, a hands-on component, teaching important work and safety skills, will be included.
Level II: Advanced Conservation Project Leadership – the second level of the training course will emphasize skills in motivating and training volunteers, dealing with challenging situations, project site safety and emergency management.

During a Volunteer for Nature Leadership Training Course, you will also learn about conservation issues in Ontario and some of the stewardship projects that Volunteer for Nature participants have completed in past years.

Training Course dates will be posted on the Schedule of Events page. If you have any questions about the Volunteer for Nature Leadership Training Course, please contact us at vfn@ontarionature.org or 416-444-8419 ext. 222.
