Space is limited for this position. Volunteers must be responsible and aware of the risks involved when working with raptors. Our first priority at the Sharon Audubon Center is to teach about the importance of the environment and our natural surroundings. Volunteer educators work with SAC staff in helping children and adults gain a better understanding and respect for the natural world. Volunteers will be trained in SAC curriculum material by SAC staff.
Programs typically run about an hour in length.
No previous experience is necessary, but volunteers must be willing to work with children in an outdoor setting and have a desire to expand their interest in nature and wildlife. Our resident animals are a big part of our Center. We now have a large family of reptiles including snakes, turtles and a green iguana. Our turtles need to be fed twice a week and snakes are fed once every 1-2 weeks. It is also important to keep the tanks and aquariums clean with fresh water on a weekly basis.
