The Great Elephant Migration is coming to New York City this fall! With 100 magnificent Indian elephant sculptures the migration looks to inspire the human race to share space.
A collaboration between indigenous artisans, contemporary artists and cultural institutions, the Great Elephant Migration will raise millions of dollars to power human-wildlife coexistence projects and protect migratory animals making spectacular journeys across land, rivers and oceans.
Elephant Family USA has fun and fulfilling volunteer opportunities for confident, friendly and reliable people who are passionate about conservation, at exhibit locations in the Meatpacking District September 6th through November 3rd. We are looking for special people to engage with the many curious visitors to the herd and provide more details about the ethos of the exhibition, as well as on-site care for the elephants.
No qualifications are necessary, just lots of enthusiasm! Applicants should be 18 or over. To register interest in joining our heroic volunteer team of Elephant Guardians, please follow the link below and complete the contact form: https://thegreatelephantmigration.org/pages/volunteer
