Medical Clinic Volunteer

This is a great opportunity to learn more about wildlife rehabilitation.

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.

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.
