Ohio Wildlife Center Volunteer Information
Ohio Wildlife Center always needs volunteers. Consider volunteering in any area of OWC:
return hotline calls
provide tours of our education/nature center
help educate the community through OWC's education programming
work in the OWC Hospital
assist with fundraising and events
Your efforts will be rewarded by a heightened awareness and understanding of the natural environment in which you live. You will also meet many other people who share your interests in wildlife and natural history.
We are especially in need of hotline volunteers. Our hotline volunteers help concerned citizens with wildlife questions and concerns. Hotline volunteers are able to help citizens assess their wildlife situation and determine whether or not the animal(s) should be brought to our free hospital. This decision is CRITICAL to the welfare of the animal.
