So You Want to Volunteer? 

Volunteering is a hard but very rewarding thing to do.  Most wildlife facilities, and many shelters rely solely on volunteers to keep them running.  Keep in mind to work with wild/exotic animals you must be 18 or over and some places have experience requirements.  If you’re not quite that adventurous or just too young, there are still a lot of things you can do (fundraising, beach clean-up, office work, etc.).  Don’t be afraid of hard work or getting dirty, keep an open mind, and ask questions. This page has mostly local information; however, places like these exist worldwide.  With a little research you can find the perfect place to volunteer and make a difference.
