Job Description
Join the AWCC as a Docent!
- For local individuals looking to volunteer with the AWCC on a weekly or biweekly basis our Docent Program is for you! Rooted in education our Docent Program seeks dedicated volunteers interested in learning about our organization mission and resident wildlife. Docents support the AWCC by helping visitors develop an understanding and appreciation of the wildlife we care for their wild counterparts and the ecosystem surrounding the sanctuary. To meet this goal docents engage with guests by offering educational opportunities and answering questions as guests view wildlife. All training necessary to become a successful docent at AWCC is provided through our Docent Training Program led by Education Department staff members.
- Individuals interested in volunteering with the Animal Care department must first successfully complete our Docent Training Program and be able to speak about AWCCs core functions and mission to guests for consideration as an Animal Care volunteer candidate.
- Our volunteer needs vary throughout the year due to fluctuating visitor numbers and seasonal changes on site. Our highest volunteer need corresponds to our highest visitation during the summer months.
