Assist with animal care at the center including cleaning enclosures, diet preparation and feeding, medical treatment, as well as maintaining the clinic area to keep a nice clean environment for animals and people alike. Minimum age for Animal Care Volunteer is 14 years old (an adult must be present if under 16) and be able to commit to at least one shift every other week. Most volunteers commit to one shift weekly. Animal care shifts vary and we can work with your schedule.

Assist with educating the public in on-site programs, tours of the center, off-site talks, booths, as well as greeting and orienting visitors. These volunteers are the face of TreeHouse and help teach the public and future generations to appreciate wildlife and the outdoors. Education volunteers also have the opportunity to learn how to handle, work with, and potentially train our education animals. Volunteers under the age of 16 must have an adult present. 

Assist with the maintenance of the building and enclosures as well as help build new structures! These volunteers play a vital role in keeping the center going through fixing any issues that may occur from storm damage to enclosures to broken doors in the building. Construction and Maintenance Volunteers are also involved in the planning and building of new structures on the grounds. Volunteers under the age of 16 must have an adult present. 

Assist with raising much needed funds and helping with donation drives for our center so we can continue to care for all of our wildlife patients and permanent residents! These volunteers meet at least once a month to discuss ideas, projects, and plan events to bring in more funding for the center. They also help run and coordinate events at the center such as our spring baby shower and our fall Owl Fest.

Assist with the gardening and landscaping around the building and outdoor sanctuary! TreeHouse has been taking steps to include more native plants and gardens on our grounds.  We need the help of enthusiastic gardeners to create and maintain these garden areas! Have a few hours a week?  With 8.5 acres, lawn care is a must as there is always grass to cut and trees to trim. Volunteers under the age of 16 must have an adult present. 

Can't commit to a scheduled shift but still want to help out with the animals? Consider volunteering as a wildlife transporter! These volunteers respond to calls in their area when  available. TreeHouse gets dozens of phone calls every day, sometimes about animals that are over an hour away from us! We need volunteers in these areas to check out the situation, rescue and transport when needed. These volunteers help us extend our reach to help more animals!

Can't commit to a scheduled shift but still want to help? Consider putting together a workday group with your scout program, employees, church, school, fraternity/sorority, or any group of friends who want to join in our mission to save animals.  Schedule your workday and spend a few hours working alongside our staff and volunteers.  You can make a difference without long term commitment and help save hours of work for our staff and volunteers.
