Opportunities for young people
There are loads of ways to get involved with nature in London. At London Wildlife Trust we have a flourishing youth programme offering paid traineeships, youth volunteering, taster workshops, a youth board, young advisors and a Wild Youth Hub, created by young people, for young people.
Keeping it Wild - Paid Traineeships
Since 2018, London Wildlife Trust has been delivering the Keeping it Wild programme, providing opportunities for young people aged 16-25 to connect with nature on their doorstep, kick-start their nature conservation careers and get involved with decision-making at the Trust through paid traineeships and our youth board.
