Hotline Volunteer
Hotline volunteers answer our hotline on the computer from the comfort of their own home. Hotline staff will sign in from their own computers and access the hotline through an online website. Volunteers are expected to show up for their four hour shift every week. While this does not require hands on with the animals, hotline volunteers directly save wildlife by being quick to answer and guide calls. All the volunteers are saying this is a very rewarding position. Please fill out the form if you are interested in volunteering with our hotline team.

Apprenticeship
Want to become a licensed wildlife rehabilitator? The state of NC requires all new rehabbers to have a mentor and be an apprentice for one year before being licensed on their own. We are opening up an on-site apprenticeship program to make sure our rehabbers get trained to the highest standards and have in-depth hands on training. This program will be 6 months for 2-3 days a week. Once completing the apprenticeship, you can stay with our team as a CWCC at-home rehabilitator.
