Would You Like to Volunteer?
We are looking for Volunteers to help at the Wildlife Center.
- We need you to commit to a minimum of 3 (three) months.
- During the Fall and Winter our work load increases and extra help is always appreciated.
- For those who prefer to be indoors during the cooler weather, we could use your help in the Entrance Booth, Food Preparation Area and/or the Gift Shop.
- Volunteers that are interested in animal related positions must first learn the guest relations side of Cat Tales. Once PR training has been mastered, should you chose to expand your skills, opportunities to work around the animals may be available.
- Volunteer positions and availability changes with the seasons, the current staffing and the animal population.
- We are also in need of help with construction projects.
Regardless of which area you would like to volunteer in, the following is required:
- You must be Honest, Dependable, Punctual, Polite, Happy, and Safe
- Also, a Self-Starter, a Team Player, and have your own Transportation.
We are looking for long term volunteers as the training will take us away from our animal related duties.
We ask our volunteers to dedicate one day, of at least 4 hours, per week for the season or longer.
