Volunteers in the Caribbean |

As a volunteer of the US Fish and Wildlife Service you can be almost anything from a biological assistant to an administrative assistant. Volunteers at National Wildlife Refuges perform a number of activities and duties that help improve and conserve our wildlife habitats and the endangered species that live in it. Whether you are interested in learning more about conservation, enjoying life outdoors, like natural resources or simply want to contribute your spare time in something useful, being part of the Service’s Volunteer Group is for you.
