Calling all animal lovers! We are expanding our animal exhibits at the Heard Museum. We looking for dedicated volunteers willing to be trained and work alongside our Heard staff members.
Your mission if you choose to accept is to help staff motivate visitors to care enough about the natural world to take an interest in restoring and preserving the earth's ecosystems. By utilizing wild animal's "ambassadors" (that's YOU) who can emotionally connect our visitors to the places these animals live, we can inspire children and adults to take a more proactive role in conserving wild places.
We are looking for volunteers who are willing to commit to a once a week schedule. You must be at least 18 years old. Volunteer applications must be filled out and a background check completed. You can download volunteer applications at www.heardmuseum.org.

Mission Statement
Bringing nature and people together to discover, enjoy, experience, restore, and preserve our priceless environment.
Description
The Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife Sanctuary in McKinney, Texas, is the result of one woman's vision for the future and her commitment to the community and North Texas. Miss Bessie Heard devoted most of her lifetime (1886-1988) to the city of McKinney and its people. Her philanthropic endeavors and generosity of spirit left a legacy of accomplishment few people attain.
Her greatest contribution to her community and North Texas is the Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife Sanctuary. Miss Heard was 80 years old when she saw the need to preserve a place where future generations could come to experience nature. The museum opened October 1, 1967, and now serves more than 100,000 visitors annually.
In keeping with Miss Heard's vision, the museum's mission is threefold: education, conservation and preservation. Through education, particularly for young people, the Heard emphasizes the appreciation of nature and the importance of its conservation.
