The Wildlife Science Center is looking for volunteers to assist with our education programs. 25,000+ people come through our doors each year to learn about wolves, wildlife, and science. Volunteers assist with conducting programs including public open hours, school field trips, bonfires, and overnight programs. Programs are on and off-site.
We are looking for volunteers that can commit to being available most Tuesdays and Wednesday from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm and Saturdays from 10:00 am to 2:30 pm to assist with our public open hours. Volunteers share information about WSC's resident wildlife with visitors as they explore the facility, and also help with admissions. Additional volunteer opportunities to help with school groups and other private programs will be based on volunteer availability.

In addition, we also conduct studies in support of the survival of critically endangered predators, train wildlife professionals from all over the world, and partner with the US Fish and Wildlife Service on the recovery of the Mexican Gray Wolf and the Red Wolf. The Wildlife Science Center is home to many wild animals such as foxes, cougars, owls and other raptors, lynx, bears and the largest resident wolf population in the United States. Many of the resident animals find sanctuary with the WSC as they would be unable to survive in the wild.
