Greetings Everyone, Volunteer Groups/Individuals

Scheduled Regularly

Thank you for your interest in volunteering at New England Wildlife Centers. We are excited to announce that we are once again accepting volunteers to support the work of our veterinarians and technicians as they care for our many sick, injured, and wild animal patients. Volunteers are typically responsible for helping keep commons areas clean and sanitary, will help organize and do the laundry, help with small garden projects, and other odd projects as needed. You will also help assist in the care of our many educational reptiles, giving food and enrichment and assisting in daily animal care and animal husbandry. Volunteers do not work directly with the wildlife present in NEWC’s hospital. 

To volunteer, email Jack Banagis (Jack.banagis@newildlife.org) indicating your interest, and please provide the best email, phone number, and full names and ages of those looking to volunteer we currently have every tuesday from 1:30-4pm dedicated to individual volunteerism and would love to have you join! We accept Children ages 12+ to volunteer alongside parents or directly with Jack and Riley, the volunteer coordinator. We are currently not accepting weekend volunteers. Currently, our volunteer program is only open for occasional project-based needs. We will reach out as needed for help on projects. 

Again, email us to get started. Thanks so much for thinking of us!! We look forward to working with you!

As a small non-profit organization, we rely heavily on community support to continue our mission of providing critical veterinary treatment to sick, injured, and orphaned wildlife and engaging, hands-on science education for students of all ages.

PLEASE NOTE: Volunteers do not work directly with the wildlife present in NEWC’s wildlife hospital.

We plan to have volunteer events throughout the year so check in with us regularly or check us out on Facebook!
