Ways to Get Involved

Instilling an Appreciation for Nature

Carolina Wildlife Care volunteers are an enthusiastic and diverse group of people who do everything from fostering orphaned wildlife to assisting with special events.  Whether you choose to be part of our wildlife care team or help in a different capacity, you will be making a difference in the lives of our wildlife patients.  There are ways for everyone to get involved; animal care, cage building, graphic design, fundraising, transport and anything else that you can think of that might be helpful to our organization.
