How to Become a Volunteer at the Churchill Northern Studies Centre
The Churchill Northern Studies Centre is an independent, not-for-profit facility dedicated to supporting research and educational initiatives in Churchill, Manitoba. The facility is located at the junction of three distinct ecosystems and provides a unique insight into life in the tundra, boreal forest and marine environments. The CNSC is open year-round to provide support for ongoing research projects, as well as offering University credit courses, Elderhostel, Earthwatch and our own Learning Vacations. We are proud to present a variety of courses which are designed to capitalize on the area's many seasonal attractions.
Volunteers have always helped the CNSC to function smoothly and efficiently. The Centre welcomes volunteers for our summer programming between June and August and for our winter programming from October to November. Depending on our programming needs, there may be other opportunities available at other times of the year.
In exchange for working 36 hours per week the Centre provides meals and accommodation. We regret that we are not able to offer compensation for travel to and from the Churchill area. Volunteers are encouraged to participate in the educational courses and related activities, whenever possible.

* kitchen

* housekeeping
* mechanical
* electrical
* welding
* desk top publishing
Most volunteers work in the kitchen assisting the cooks with dessert and salad preparation, baking, slicing and dicing, general cleaning and dishwashing duties under guidance from the kitchen staff. Sometimes these duties are augmented with office duties and light housekeeping on busy changeover days, but mostly our volunteers are needed in the kitchen.
Minimum age is 18, although younger candidates may be considered if accompanied by an adult. Fluency in English is a requirement.
