Summer 2021 Animal Care Interns
Mar 15 all-day
Online w/ Appalachian Wildlife Refuge
Picture

​Animal Care interns help in all aspects of operations including the full rehabilitation process, answering phone calls and emails about wildlife interactions, the daily care of injured and orphaned wildlife and their enclosures, assisting with transport, and communications with the wildlife rehabilitation network in western NC. Interns assist in facility upkeep and maintenance as needed and are provided the opportunity to experience all aspects of the non-profit if there is interest.

No two days in wildlife rehabilitation are the same. Interns must be flexible, dedicated, dependable, and comfortable working in a team setting with other volunteers and communicating with the public.

Summer Interns are required to commit to the internship period of May thru August, and will carry out a weekly set schedule that they are accountable for during the entirety of their internship. Summer 2021 Interns must be able to dedicate 30 hours per week within our animal care facilities operating hours.
