Volunteer Opportunities
The Caretaking and Handling Program
The Caretaking and Handling Program is for those able to dedicate a significant amount of time and energy to intense, consistent training in order to develop the skills necessary to care for and handle our pack. In order to work with these animals, one must develop a strong bond of trust and mutual respect, as well as a deep understanding of them, which develops over time. Our Caretaking and Handling Team is expected to dedicate adequate time to the study of wolves and wolfdogs, their behavior, and the past and present politics surrounding them. The required schedule for the Caretaking and Handling Program is a minimum of three days a month (ideally once a week).
The Associate Volunteer Program
The Associate Volunteer Program is for those who want to be of help to our mission but lack the time or flexibility in their schedule to commit to the Caretaking and Handling Program. Associate Volunteers make themselves available to help at events, for large projects, and with community outreach and fundraising. The required schedule for an Associate Volunteer is a minimum of one day a month.
