TWRC Volunteers help staff the center and complete the day-to-day functions including daily chores, caring for ambassador animals, running the admission desk, caring for the animals in our onsite Animal Care Program, working with our education team and much more.
The Animal Care Program runs 7 days a week from Spring to Fall, with 3-hour shifts from 5 am to 11 pm. ACP involves feeding, cleaning, and caring for orphaned and injured birds, squirrels, and opossums. You will be trained by our staff and volunteers to provide the best care possible!
Center volunteers help care for the education animals that live in our center full time as well as support all TWRC operations through a wide variety of tasks. Whether you are washing laundry for ACP or answering phone calls from rescuers, we have year-round, 7-day-a-week opportunities for you to help wildlife.

Mission Statement
Since 1979, TWRC Wildlife Center has been committed to providing quality emergency care and rehabilitation for injured, ill, and orphaned wildlife brought to us by the public. Through education and engaging the public in wildlife-care programs, TWRC continues to make a difference for urban wildlife threatened by loss of habitat.
Description
Compassion
At Texas Wildlife Rehabilitation Center (TWRC) we believe in the inherent worth and dignity of all living things. We value the lives of every animal that enters our care and vow to treat each animal humanely and with respect and compassion. Although our goal is to release all animals back to the wild, we hold ourselves accountable to do what is best for each individual animal.
Stewardship
Through our outreach programs we aim to help the public understand the importance of conservation and to gain an appreciation of native Texas wildlife. We are committed to educating the public about wildlife as a means to encourage people to coexist with the wild animals who share our environment.
Commitment
TWRC provides a community for people who are dedicated to Texas wildlife. We value and care about each other - working to inspire, challenge and support our fellow wildlife caregivers. Although many of us are volunteers, we aspire to a level of professionalism in everything we do.
Leadership
The staff and volunteers of TWRC strive to develop future leaders in the wildlife field. Through our work with the Boy and Girl scouts and local colleges, we actively seek out and then train tomorrow’s wildlife workers. By openly showing our enthusiasm for conserving native Texas wildlife, we establish bold visions and purposefulness in the next generation.
