Job Opportunities

There are no current job opportunities. See below for other ways to be involved!


Volunteering

The Biosphere Institute does its best to provide volunteer opportunities for individuals interested in advancing environmental stewardship in the Bow Valley. We are somewhat limited by our staff capacity to manage volunteers, and therefore we are regretfully not always able to accommodate all expressions of interest.

We do offer several specific volunteer opportunities that are linked to ongoing projects. We will post these specific volunteer opportunities on this page as they are available.


Reuse champions: Bow valley reuse hub

If you’re passionate about reducing waste and want to support a new circular economy initiative in the Bow Valley, this is a great way to get involved. You’ll help connect surplus materials with community members who can use them, keeping valuable items out of the landfill.

Time commitment: ~2+ hours/week
Perks: Be part of a high-impact, unique pilot + get first access to free items!

Interested? Reach out to resource@biosphereinstitute.org
