2024 Wild and Free Volunteer Orientation
April 13th, 10am-12pm
We ask that all new volunteers attend the annual volunteer training meeting prior to the busy baby season! Returning volunteers are not required to attend, but are more than welcome to come and see their pals and welcome new volunteers!
At this meeting, our Wildlife Program Coordinator, along with our two Master-Rehabber Veterinarians will:
-
- Go over rules, regulations, and safety information pertaining to volunteering at Wild and Free, and fill out paperwork.
- Walk through the different ways you can volunteer with us, introduce the team and our general operating procedures, and show new volunteers around the facility.
- Introduce basic rehabilitation practices, including demonstrations of safe methods of feeding and handling different species.
If you are aware of a conflict, but are still interested in volunteering with us this season, please reach out to our program coordinator, Grace Frickenstein, at: [email protected]
