Volunteer Opportunities with Animalia Position Descriptions: Education Outreach: If you are looking to help spread the word and are willing to be in
front of a crowd, this is just your thing! Volunteers
will be trained how to handle a variety of animals (reptiles, birds, mammals) to
assist ANIMALIA staff during
Education Outreach Programs. Volunteers are
required to learn a diverse array of background information on a
variety of
animals and their interrelationships in the
Animal Care: It’s a dirty job, but somebody’s got to do it! It is also very rewarding to provide basic animal care including cleaning, feeding, and enrichment for ANIMALIA’s numerous small mammals, reptiles, and birds. Some animal contact is involved. Keeping our animal enclosures clean is a high priority as it can impact the health and well being of our animals.
Socialization: Since most of our animals are used in
Education Outreach Programs, they need regular socialization in order to be
comfortable around people. This hands-on position requires the careful and
attentive interaction with our animals both indoors and outdoors. This is much
more than just “playing” with the animals. Each social interaction has a point
and purpose to fulfill.
Facility Maintenance: For the handy person who likes to build and fix things, this is the position for you! The wear and tear that animals exert on their housing is exceptional and sometimes things need to be repaired or built anew. Whether it’s constructing an outdoor animal enclosure, installing a perch, stringing together wire mesh, painting a wall, or clearing a floor drain, there are always things to do.
