Becoming a volunteer in a non-profit organization is an excellent way to acquire professional experience that you can highlight in your CV. If you want to move towards a career in the environment, an associative volunteer experience in eco-volunteering will allow you to test your motivations and benefit from networking with employees and volunteers to identify possible professional opportunities. Moreover, beyond civic engagement for a cause of public utility, volunteers multiply their skills, and in particular a relational ease that is very useful for the rest of their professional life. Finally, helping an association on a voluntary basis can lead to a contract! Indeed, associations that call on volunteers potentially also recruit permanent and fixed-term contracts, and tend to prefer to recruit volunteers from the association.
