If you are interested in learning how to care for a variety of animals and navigate day to day operations of an animal care in an educational environment please consider volunteering at the Backyard Wildlife Center at Lichterman Nature Center.
Volunteers will learn and utilize skills, engage with the public, teach about animals, the native ecosystems, and more. Volunteers will learn to feed, clean, and care for the BWC's collection of animals, including fish, reptiles, amphibians, mammals, and more. You will also help MoSH serve the community and give back to the community.
Volunteers are needed Tuesdays- Sunday, 9am-1pm or 1pm-5pm. This is an on-going volunteer opportunity and we ask that you volunteer for 3 months or more. Volunteers must be 16 years and older. If you are over 18 years old, you must pass a back ground check.
If you would like more information or to volunteer, please contact Janie Best Paraham at janie.paraham@memphistn.gov or 901.636.2438.
