About Para La Tierra:

Fundación Para La Tierra is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the conservation of fragile habitats in Paraguay. Our vision is to change the course of Paraguayan environmentalism by inspiring people to appreciate the value of nature. We are working together with the Paraguayan government, local community members, national and international NGOs, and national and international volunteers and interns to protect Paraguay’s unique environment.

  • Assisting with production of quarterly newsletter.
  • Assisting in organising and implementing promotional events.
  • Contacting universities for potential partnerships and encouraging the establishment of partnership agreements with international institutions.
  • Presenting own innovative ideas.

This position is a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience within marketing, communications and recruitment along with an insight into the management of NGOs and grass-root organisations. Your main tasks are flexible and can be adapted to your interests and needs.
