Thank you for your interest in volunteering with the Ohlone Humane Society Wildlife Rehabilitation Center’s 27 th year helping care for the many injured and orphaned native wildlife we will take in during the 2024 season.
The wildlife at our facility requires consistent care throughout the 7-month busy season between April to October. We ask for your commitment to volunteer one 3.5-hour shift on the same day and time each week, 3 times a month. We do understand that volunteers have vacations and other commitments, so we are flexible on shift scheduling. Orientation classes begin in March.
We are open every day. Shifts are Monday to Sunday 9:00am to 12:30pm. Please note that shift times could change during the season to meet the needs of our patients.
Responsibilities include preparing species-specific meals for each patient, cleaning enclosures, laundry, dishes and some light gardening. -Apply on line at https://ohlonehumanesociety.org/volunteer/
