Volunteers/Interns Needed

Volunteers and student interns provide much needed assistance with refuge projects. They are often able to complete work that refuge staff would be unable to do. The hours, work assignments, et cetera are tailored to meet the needs of both the refuge staff and the volunteer or intern. Refuge housing and a small stipend are available to qualified interns and volunteers.

Volunteer projects include conducting biological surveys, providing clerical assistance in the office, general maintenance of facilities and equipment, photography and art work, habitat restoration activities, and environmental education just to name a few.

College students may be able to earn college credits while gaining valuable work experience as an intern at the refuge. Internships are available year round. Please contact the refuge for additional information regarding openings and how to apply.
