Volunteer Opportunities

 

Volunteer at a real WILD place!

All volunteer positions require pre-registration, and in some cases, a background check and an interview.  All new volunteers must attend a 2 hour orientation.  Additional training is required for certain programs.  A fee is required for most volunteer programs; this fee covers your volunteer shirt, name badge, training materials and a background check.  Please note the fee associated with each program, and the time of year each program is offered.  Volunteering for multiple programs requires multiple fees and multiple training sessions.

Adult Volunteers (ages 18 and older)

Youth Volunteers (ages 14 to 18 with a parent)
