The Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center depends upon volunteers for a wide variety of tasks. And, because the animals depend on us for their very existence, we do ask for a serious commitment from our volunteers.
Volunteers can help the animals in many ways! We look forward to meeting you and learning how you can join our Volunteer staff.
