I wish they would get back to me with some kind of reply…;(
Hello Dawn, Not sure why you haven’t heard back. Have you filled out a volunteer application – you can download one from the website and send it in. Once a month there is a volunteer orientation – please call for date. Volunteers don’t work in our hospital however, but some folks start there. If you are wanting to be considered an application for a undergrad student internship there is also an application form to fill out on our website and fill it. If you have already done these and haven’t heard back, I apologize. We are in the process of orienting a new veterinarian, who is terrific, Dr. Rob. As you can imagine, we are up to our eyeballs in baby wildlife this time of year. Please understand that there are only 3 full timers at the Center, the rest are volunteers. We are not a government organization, nor are we part of a large nonprofit or universities. We are a few people from your community who came together to try to make the world a better place. We are fully booked with internships this year, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go ahead and put in an application if you have not done so already. All interns have to be fully rabies vaccinated. If you would like, you can also place a phone call to follow up on an application you have submitted to Dr. Rob Admanski at 781 682 4878 x114. Your interest is important to us and I hope you will also come visit. Best regards, Katrina

I volunteered at the Center for 2 summers. I really loved becoming involved in such a helpful organization. It is experiences like this that have made me more confident in the natural sciences. The Center is a great sanctuary for both injured wildlife and education. I also love how the building itself is a sustainable construction. This partly inspired me to pursue a major in Sustainable Development and Architecture.

As a volunteer 20 some years ago, the Center has helped mold my career choices. It all started with an orphaned baby bird.
