Wilder Youth

Our Wilder Youth programme is for people ages 16 - 30 from all around Somerset who want to take action for nature.

We host meetups every other month where we share opportunities, organise upcoming campaigns and projects, and have a dedicated wildlife session to learn ecology and ID skills. Members can be supported with their own wildlife projects and ideas, or helped to find specific experiences they are seeking.

Work experience week

Our 2026 work experience week will be running from Monday 13th to Friday 17th July.

If you are interested in carrying out your work experience week with us, please contact our Volunteering and Community Support Officer Hannah Paddison: hannah.paddison@somersetwildlife.org.

Work experience placements are provided to offer an insight into the working world, including the process of applying and interviewing for placements. We aim to keep this process as flexible as possible, accommodating the individual needs of each student, and our aim is to get to know the young person and find out whether this is the right workplace for them. 

We get a huge number of applications from students looking to do their work experience with us and we are only able to take on three students per year.
