Animal Care: Chickens & Goats
We are looking for one individual (or family) per day to help care for our resident Chickens and Goats. Shifts currently available: Wednesday mornings (around 7/7:30am in the summer and 8/8:30am in the winter). Work involves letting the animals out and making sure they have food & water. As training with our Director of Animal Care is involved, we are looking for a volunteer or volunteers who can provide us and our animals with a long-term commitment.
The amount of time needed to complete animal care varies from person to person, but we typically estimate that about 15-20 minutes is needed for our chickens & goats.No additional volunteer opportunities at this time.
