There are a number of ways you can get involved at the Cape
Wildlife Center, if you're so inclined:
Volunteer. Volunteers are a critical part of our
team. On any given day, volunteers feed orphan wildlife,
transport injured animals, prepare meals, work in the office,
and build cages and create habitats for convalescent animals.
Whether your skills include caring for animals, using hand
tools, or typing, we can use those skills at the center.
Be an Extern. The center accepts about 20 veterinary
and undergraduate students per year for externships in our
Wildlife Care program. Overseen by the staff veterinarian and
the staff wildlife rehabilitator/veterinary technician, externs
are involved with the husbandry, rehabilitation, and medical
care of each wildlife patient admitted.
Work in the Community. Participate in one of the
center's several community outreach programs, which teach
youngsters or adults about wildlife rehabilitation or how to
live in harmony with our wild neighbors.
Enhance Your Professional Expertise. If you are a
wildlife professional, take part in one of our educational
programs that focus on handling and working with wildlife.
Apply for a Job. Paid staff at the Cape Wildlife
Center include several positions during our busiest season
(April through October).
