Animal Care Fall Intern

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.

Interns are required to commit to the August-December internship period, and will carry out a weekly set schedule that they are accountable for during the entirety of their internship. Fall interns must be able to dedicate 15 hours per week within our animal care facilities operating hours. 

If the students' school finds our internship suitable to receive credit then the intern will need to complete whatever necessary paperwork required from the school. We will work with the intern on signing paperwork, writing an evaluation, and things of that sorts. We can only verify the hours the intern documents in our volunteer management portal.
