Would you recommend Wildlife Rescue Center?
I've been volunteering here for a little over 8 months now. There is hardly ever a time where I am not thanked multiple times by staff and even other volunteers during a "shift" for coming in. Staff has always been kind and patient, not only to volunteers but to the wildlife in their care. Even when I was a "newer" volunteer, I always felt appreciated and welcomed. This is definitely a fantastic group of people - from the staff to the volunteers, and it is for a very noble cause.
I've been volunteering for the WRC since 2007. I can't recall a time at the end of a shift when I wasn't thanked by the staff or the volunteer shift leader, or both. I've volunteered for other organizations over the years, and my experiences have been positive. But at the WRC I feel appreciated in a way unlike the others. I feel like I'm part of a team, that my input is respected and paid attention to by the staff. I ask a million questions every week, and to each one I'm given a thoughtful answer.
And I get a positive vibe with the volunteers. We and the staff now have a collection of shared experiences that we can celebrate (or commiserate) about.
It's a happy place.
I have been volunteering at the Wildlife Rescue since 2008. It is a big part of my life and I am very proud to be part of this organization. The staff have encouraged and been patient with me as I have learned to do many things. I am always learning something about our native wildlife and how to care for them properly. The work is not always easy,but it is always very rewarding. I put my heart into this work but I can honestly say I get much more back. Love the people I work with, love the work I do.
If you want to make a difference, have a love for wildlife, and dont mind a little hard work, you should come check out our place.
The volunteer coordinator was very patient and understanding. The higher staff treated me as if I were an ignorant, incompetent child. All I did was answer the phone. I am a 46 year old woman who will not tolerate the disrespect shown when I am giving my time to help them. I promptly quit there and now give my time elsewhere, where it is appreciated and I am treated with respect.
When I was little my grandma use to take me with her to the different places that she helped out at and the wildlife rescue was one of my all time favorites. I know that one day I will also go back to help those who have no voices. My grandmother ( Betty Verseman) and Father who also did volunteer work ( Jason Verseman) have both passed away and the Wildlife Rescue Center is something that I miss in my life. I don't know when the last time I was there because it was a long time ago. All I did was fold laundry. But I tried to give a good Guess as to when I was last there. Thanks again. Morgan Verseman
