Mission Statement
The Wildlife Center of Silicon Valley is dedicated to providing sick, injured, and orphaned wildlife with exceptional free care, rehabilitation, and the opportunity for release. We also aim to educate the public about coexisting peacefully with local wildlife.
Description
Approximately 230 volunteers spend over 15,000 hours a year helping with the enormous task of caring for our patients. Most of our volunteers help with animal care. We have administrative, outreach/events, and even gardening volunteer opportunities. Whichever type of commitment you choose, your contribution of time makes a BIG difference and helps give wildlife a second chance. The Wildlife Center is a great place for people who are passionate about wildlife conservation. Seeing the animals heal and become ready for release is a powerful and extremely satisfying experience.
