Help care for the museum’s collection of non-releasable California wildlife! We ask our volunteers to commit to Lindsay Wildlife Experience and its Animal Ambassadors at least one year of service. The requirement is one 4-hour shift a week. The shift is set and we ask for our volunteers to be present at least three out of the four weeks in a month. This is to ensure that our volunteers are up to date with department updates and that our 70 permanent residents get the best care.
This is a physical volunteer job and requires standing, stooping, crouching, and lifting. Food preparation is required. Keep in mind, that we do feed meat to our carnivores and omnivores and all of our volunteers are required to handle meat products.
