Inspiring people to appreciate and protect nature — that is part of St. Francis Wildlife's mission, and it's what our volunteers do every day. 

​

We welcome volunteers from the community to work on site and/or transport rescued wildlife to us from Tallahassee veterinary hospitals. All volunteers must be at least 18 years of age, reliable, responsible and have their own transportation. 

​

At St. Francis Wildlife you will always find a cage that needs cleaning, a pile of laundry to be washed and folded, a floor that needs mopping or special animal diets that need to be prepared. Volunteers also help maintain our wildlife sanctuary by repairing or building outdoor cages and clearing trails. 

​

To help staff directly care for wildlife, we require a commitment of at least one four-hour shift per week. You will learn by reading our volunteer manual and working alongside a staff member or experienced volunteer. Our busiest time, baby season, is April through October.
