How to help

Africa matters is a pathway for conservation, ecology and biology classes and clubs, arts and photography organizations to make a difference. We would love to hear from anyone who is a student, a teacher, or member of any class or organization focused on conservation, ecology, biology, and art (including photography) to contact us. We know you have ideas, questions, expertise and we hope to make the network larger and strong to benefit all environments by all means. You can email or call.

We are looking for volunteers who have some time they'd like to offer for simple administrative tasks, some one-time and others that could be on-going. Additionally, we are hoping to expand the Board of Directors as well as an Advisory Board of individuals who have specific skills, knowledge and contacts that can forward our mission. Do not hesitate to contact us.
