What do WILDNorth Volunteers do?
Well, pretty much everything! As a non-profit charity, we rely on 250+ active volunteers to help us run just about every part of our organization. Read more below about what volunteers do at WILDNorth.
WILDRescue Volunteers are responsible for helping wildlife in need get to us here at WILDNorth. These volunteers are out in the field, in our offices returning calls to concerned callers, and helping us transport patients to and from our facilities. Positions include: WILDRescuers, Helpline Advisors, or Wildlife Transportation Drivers.
WILDEducation Volunteers help deliver programming for our Junior Wildlife Ambassadors Program and EPCOR Wildlife Interaction & My Community Programs, as well as helping us engage with our communities through outreach opportunities and events. Positions include: WILDEducation Volunteers or Outreach Volunteers.
WILDNorth currently offers 3 streams of summer internships: WILDRescue Internships, WILDCare Internships, and WILDEducation Internships. These are intensive 16-week volunteer commitments where interns will receive an immersive, hands-on experience like no other. Applications for these programs typically open in December for a start date the following summer. We encourage anyone interested in learning more about Wildlife Rehabilitation and diving right in to what we do here at WILDNorth to apply and contribute to the rehabilitation of Northern Alberta’s wildlife!
