Become a BC SPCA Wild ARC volunteer
Wild ARC relies on the assistance of many volunteers throughout the
year. There are a variety of volunteer roles which includes working with the animals (Animal Care & Internships) and working for the animals (Education, Outreach & Fundraising Committees). Under 19? Please see opportunities for youth volunteers.
Animal Care Volunteers
Ever wanted to work hands-on with wildlife and make a difference in the lives of individual animals - well this is the opportunity you have been waiting for! Over 100 regular volunteers are needed each week to provide care to our patients and we provide both classroom and hands-on training for those willing to commit to a minimum 4 hour weekly shift.
Or you may know someone who loves wildlife (from a distance) and wants to volunteer helping to cook and clean for our animals without the need for hands-on experience - we have volunteer opportunities for them too!
The majority of animal care activity occurs between April and October each year, although some animal care volunteers stay on year round.
Recruitment and training takes place mostly in the spring to prepare
for our busy baby season. Interested in finding out more? Orientation sessions are a great way to learn more about volunteer opportunities without making a firm commitment.
February 2012 Update
Group orientations and classroom sessions for animal care volunteers are now being scheduled for February and March 2012. Please apply online!
