Volunteer Readiness Program

Structured onboarding for planting-day volunteers, community helpers, and forest stewards.

Volunteer Readiness Program
Active

The Volunteer Readiness Program prepares people to contribute safely and effectively to restoration and monitoring work.

What we do

Why structure matters

Good intentions without structure can create confusion — or worse, cause unintentional harm. A readiness model helps protect both volunteers and the people they want to support. It also makes our organisation more resilient and trustworthy.

What the programme covers

  • Core values and ethical conduct as a Terra Viva volunteer
  • Understanding safety and boundaries on planting sites
  • Communication standards and reporting responsibilities
  • Practical support roles and what to expect
  • Safety protocols and confidentiality obligations

How to apply

If you are interested in volunteering with Terra Viva VZW, please visit our volunteer page or contact us directly. All volunteers complete the readiness programme before beginning any active role.
