Group Volunteering Programs

Think Wild offers onsite educational experiences and group volunteering for adults and youth (or a mix of both)!

These opportunities are available to businesses, organizations, membership-based groups, schools and more. They can be for a half or full-day or multi-day/week projects and are great opportunities to give back to your native wildlife. 

Youth Volunteer Programs

Half and full-day projects typically include:

  • Support animal care and food preparation
  • Animal enclosure and cage cleaning
  • Animal enrichment projects
  • Animal enclosure outfitting (building ladders, perches, etc.)
  • Painting
  • Gardening for native pollinators
  • Nest box construction

 

We also have larger projects available, such as constructing a songbird or bat enclosure, for students and youth seeking multi-day projects. These are perfect for Eagle Scouts or college students!

Adult Volunteer Programs

These programs are free, but we encourage your business or organization to make a tax-deductible donation to sponsor the materials and supplies needed for your volunteer day.

Half and full-day projects typically include:

  • Enclosure construction
  • Animal enclosure and cage cleaning
  • Animal enclosure outfitting (building ladders, perches, etc.)
  • Painting
  • Property Maintenance
  • Outreach events

 

We also have larger, multi-day projects available.
