Sarvey Wildlife Center

Weekly Volunteers

For information about becoming a wildlife volunteer contact Kelly, our volunteer coordinator, at kelly@sarveywildlife.org

We LOVE our volunteers and we are always searching for good people who want to work with us, especially those who fall in love with taking care of wild creatures, and choose to stay for many years.

Requirements:
Age: No one under the age of 14, no exceptions.
Time: We ask that you choose one day of the week to volunteer, and the shifts are as follows, 8am-Noon, Noon-4, 4-8, and in the summertime we have an evening shift from 6pm-10pm.... If you are going to miss days please let us know in advance that way we can schedule around the day(s) you miss.

The Work: All of us clean cages, prepare food, share in doing dishes, laundry, making baby formulas, and feeding babies. Those who like to be outside may prefer cleaning our outside habitats.

This is a cleaning job, but you get to be with, and handle wild animals while participating in their care. And the best part is seeing them get well and be released. Yes, there are deaths, but we save a remarkable number in all.

Taking care of wild creatures is not risk free. We will train you and not ask you to do anything you are not ready and willing to do. But you must also be able to use good judgement every moment you are at Sarvey. All of our patients are wild, not tame, and the goal is to keep them that way.
