Who are the Junior Honorary Rangers?
Junior Honorary Rangers are volunteers between the ages of 12 and 18 who participate in the youth development programme of the South African National Parks (SANParks). It is the junior leg of the Honorary Rangers (HRs) which has been in existence for almost 40 years and has a proud tradition of volunteer service to SANParks.
The Junior Honorary Rangers are involved in some of the activities of the Senior Corps but will meet on their own and follow their own programme. They meet every third Saturday of the month.
JHRs will take a leading role in conservation clubs and environmental projects in their schools and communities. JHRs will also be encouraged to visit national parks.
