Volunteer Position: Education and Outreach

Greenwood Wildlife Rehabilitation Center's mission is to rehabilitate sick, injured and orphaned wildlife for release into appropriate habitats. Greenwood also strives to educate the public, emphasizing humane solutions to human/wildlife interactions.

In addition to Greenwood's mission to rehabilitate and release wild animals, we also strive to educate the public emphasizing humane solutions to human/wildlife interactions. Our Education-Outreach Volunteers visit schools, events and other organizations to teach ways to coexist with our wildlife neighbors and what to do in case you ever find yourself in a situation with a wild animal. Anyone with an earnest desire to educate the community about these issues is welcome to volunteer.

Volunteer activities may include:

• Contacting schools and organizations to schedule visits
• Writing curriculum to meet Colorado State Education Standards
• Visiting schools and organizations to present material
• Interacting with the public to express Greenwood's mission
• Attending outreach events
• Other duties as needed
