VOLUNTEERING AT AIWC

Make YOUR wildest dreams come true - help AIWC return injured wildlife to their natural habitat!

AIWC depends on an army of dedicated volunteers. With ever-increasing demand and only three year-round full-time staff - all of whom wear several hats-extra hands, brains, and hearts are always needed.  The experience of working up-close and hands-on with wildlife is the reward most of our volunteers seek - an opportunity and privilege that is second to none!

However, there is much more that is needed for a rehabilitation facility like AIWC to perform the outstanding service it does.

For 2010 AIWC is in need of Wildlife Rehabilitation Assistants, Rescue Drivers, Fundraising Volunteers, Board of Director Volunteers, Office Volunteers and Construction & Landscape Volunteers.

A complete description of the available volunteer positions is listed on the volunteer positions page or click this link.

Volunteering at the wildlife center is unforgettable and there is rarely a dull moment. Even mundane tasks such as floor-mopping are enjoyable when surrounded by such magnificent creatures as a golden eagle, great-horned owlets, mountain bluebirds, chirping baby robins, a common loon, a young beaver playing with sticks or a trio of playful juvenile red squirrels. When it comes to keeping these animals clean and fed and looking after their medical needs, many hands make lighter work, and we encourage you to consider joining our team of 100+ volunteers.
