Ways to Get Involved: Support

Transport Volunteers are on standby to transport or rescue injured wildlife and bring it to the wildlife center from a veterinarian's office, Riverbank's Zoo, or another location. Volunteers might be called upon once or twice a month for case by case wildlife situations. Volunteers may sometimes assist in capturing injured wildlife or reuniting healthy wildlife with its mother.
NOTE: CWC has a special need for help for transport volunteers to/from Charlotte and to/from Greenville.

Recycling Volunteers work a flexible schedule and transport CWC's aluminum can trailer and other recyclables to the recycling centers one time each month. The recycling program is an important source of funds for the wildlife center and it helps in cleaning up the environment too! No orientation is required, but personal instruction is provided. Volunteers use own vehicle, and a towing hitch on car is required.

Education Volunteers enjoy both animals and people and bring a real
enthusiasm about the wonders of wildlife to CWC's programs. Education
Volunteers help CWC at public events, like the Wildlife Baby Shower and
Earth Day, educational programs and other exhibits. Their main goal is
to educate the public about the center's programs and assist in the overall
care of CWC's wildlife ambassadors while offsite.
