Personal information
In order to submit your volunteer application online, we need to obtain the following detailed personal information from you:

  3. Next-of-Kin/emergency contact information
  4. A description about yourself
  5. General, non-specific concerns that you may have about volunteering in Africa, LEO Africa, conservation, or any other aspect of LEO Africa operations.
To apply online, you will be redirected to a secure server indicated by the prefix https:// in the address bar(1). The information you send to us is delivered via a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) using 128-bit encryption, which means it cannot be intercepted, viewed, or altered by anyone while en route to the official LEO Africa volunteer registrar.

Unless compelled by law or court order to do so, LEO Africa will not provide any of your personal information to third parties without your permission. LEO Africa does not and will not sell, rent, or give away any personal information to third parties for any purposes whatsoever.
