The following information is for adults and juniors over 16 years of age. The will then call you and invite you to a volunteer orientation. Orientations are held on a Saturday morning from nine to noon, three times a year, usually in January, May and October. Under special circumstances, or if we have special needs, they do take new volunteers at other times of the year.
Openings are limited.
After attending an orientation we set up an interview to arrange a schedule and discuss your volunteer work. It depends on how many openings we have and how your availability matches these openings as to how quickly we will be able to start you as a new volunteer. We want everyone to have a meaningful job to do and to have the appropriate training necessary to do that job. A nine-week training course, in the fall, provides information on our animals, and their habitats, and training in interpretive skills. In addition there are monthly training updates.
