Medical Clinic Volunteer

The hands-on nature of our Medical Clinic Volunteer role is physically demanding, but also highly rewarding. Clinic volunteers provide important supportive care (including food preparation, cleaning, and habitat maintenance) for over 190 local species. This is a great opportunity to learn more about wildlife rehabilitation.
Baby Animal Support

Each year the Center for Wildlife's busy Medical Clinic admits around 2,500 animals from 190 different species. The Baby Animal Support Volunteer is a vital role that provides essential wildlife patient feeding and support specific to our baby mammals and birds. This is a busy and rewarding role for those who love working with our youngest patients.
Wildlife Hotline & Admissions

The Wildlife Hotline and Admissions Volunteer is a critical member of our clinic team. This role is responsible for assisting the public with situations involving wildlife, specifically all aspects of incoming and outgoing Wildlife Hotline calls and the initial screening and triage of wildlife patient admissions.
Ambassador Care Volunteer

Under the supervision of the Education and Outreach Department staff on shift, the Ambassador Care Volunteer is responsible for feeding ambassadors, cleaning enclosures, and assisting with enclosure maintenance as necessary. This is a non-paid, volunteer role available both weekdays and weekends.
Wildlife Care Internships
NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS
The Wildlife Care Internship Program at the Center for Wildlife is a non-paid work and learning experience for individuals interested in wildlife, and in some cases gain college credit. These positions can serve as an exciting pathway into wildlife career opportunities. Visit our Internship page for more information.
One-Time Opportunities
NOT ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS AT THIS TIME
Our new facility offers the chance for more one-time volunteer opportunities. For groups or solo volunteers looking for a one-time commitment, we offer various work days and projects-based opportunities. (Most opportunities are physical in nature and therefore have age restrictions or adult supervision requirements.)
Facilities Volunteer
NOT ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS AT THIS TIME
Our facilities have grown tremendously over the years, and our new Center offers many opportunities for hands-on projects, from carpentry to landscaping to mechanics. Facilities Volunteers ensure safety for all of our patients, visitors, volunteers, and staff by helping to maintain the grounds, clinic, and specialized outdoor enclosures.
