Atoll Volunteers is a young and vibrant NGO, based in the beautiful Maldives. We welcome international volunteers from around the globe on a range of programmes including medical and teaching placements, and Marine and Turtle Conservation, hosted at our Atoll Marine Centre.

Our marine biologists are in charge of running the marine centre, caring for the sea turtles, progressing our coral gardening efforts, raising environmental awareness within the community, monitoring local reef health and managing the international volunteers who pay to participate in the marine programs; ‘Marine Conservation’ & ‘Turtle Conservation’. The daily work is mostly caring for the turtles, but the more effective the turtle programme runs and in period with many volunteers, the more time there will be for the other projects.

As such, the work requires constant commitment and passion. The position takes on a lot of responsibility and the chosen candidates will be expected to shoulder this responsibility in a disciplined and professional way while also keeping a healthy balance between work and fun. We attract volunteers from around the world, from different backgrounds and with different needs. You will lead and interact with these volunteers daily and we strive to make certain that they have a meaningful stay with us.
