The Turtle Conservancy is looking for volunteers for the following categories:
Keeper's Aid: This is a wonderful opportunity for students and graduates in the biology field (or anyone who has a passion for turtles) to experience what it's like to be a keeper at the Turtle Conservancy! Volunteers need to be able to comfortably lift 50lbs. Tasks will include meal prep and feeding, enclosure maintenance, animal welfare and husbandry care. Many of the species we care for are critically endangered, so previous experience is preferred. Keeper's aids will go through orientation and additional training.
Tour Guide: The Turtle Conservancy is looking for friendly, outgoing individuals to help give our members tours of our conservation center. Tour guides should have a flexible schedule as tour hours vary. Tour guides will be trained in advance about the species' and history of the Turtle Conservancy. This is a wonderful opportunity if you are a people person but still want to get some turtle time in!
Thank you for your interest!
Please note that these are all volunteer positions and are unpaid. The Turtle Conservancy does not provide housing for its volunteers.
