Animal Care Husbandry

Animal Care husbandry volunteers assist staff with basic tasks such as cleaning cages, washing animal dishes, and preparing diets for animals that live at the Science Center. Volunteers do not handle the animals, but are in close proximity to many small wild species. Volunteers are scheduled for a specific weekly 2-hour shift. They are at least 18 years old. Training is experiential and on-going. Volunteers commit to at least 40 hours of service.
