The mission of the Orang Utan Republik Foundation (OURF) is to support, coordinate and facilitate conservation education, outreach programs, and other innovative collaborative projects regarding the endangered wild orangutan so that it will be saved from extinction.
The President, Dr. Gary L. Shapiro, is seeking volunteers or interns with social media experience interested in coordinating and implementing social media campaigns and strategy to further the foundation's outreach and education mission. These would be on the various social media platforms with a goal of involving the public in better understanding the plight of the orangutan and what they can do to raise awareness. This opportunity can be virtual, but if you are based in the Los Angeles area you are welcome to join us during events and fundraiser or meet up in-person to work if your schedule allows.
Interested candidates should have reviewed the Orang Utan Republik Foundation website (orangutanrepublik.org) and be knowledgeable about the various campaigns already launched.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Orang Utan Republik Foundation (OURF) has remained true to its founding principles; to save the orangutans of Indonesia through conservation education, outreach initiatives and innovative collaborative programs that inspire and call people to action.
Description
The Orang Utan Republik Foundation is based in Santa Monica, California and conducts outreach and fundraising events in the United States. Its major impact takes place in Indonesia where local organizations implement OURF's education and conservation programs.
Domestic Outreach involves participating in events including Earthday as well as Orangutan Caring Week in November. Other activities are planned and conducted by volunteers. OURF works with schools to enroll and inspire students to learn about orangutans and take action to conserve the species.
OURF works with the Sustainable Green Sumatra Foundation (YSHL) to implement the Community Education and Conservation Program (CECP). The CECP program delivers education to villages near Gunung Leuser National Park to reduce conflict between the villagers and orangutans. The CECP program also provides training and assistance in organic farming and waste management at the village level as well as providing ways to improve livelihood as an alternative to destructive practices.
OURF works with the Orangutan Information Center in Medan, Sumatra, Yayasan Palung in West Kalimantan, and Borneo Nature Foundation in Central Kalimantan in implementing the Orangutan Caring Scholarship program. OURF raises and aggregates funds contributed by donors to provide multi-year tuition for Indonesian college and university students in the fields of Biology, Forestry and Veterinary Science. The scholarships are given in a competitive manner by the implementing organizations.
