My new unpaid "job"

This is my new Volunteer job. I got the job yesterday at the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Minnesota. I will work Wednesday evening for 4 hours. It is a 9 month commitment. I am kind of excited. The job duties are ones that I am very very well equipped for and have years and years of training.

I start next week. I hope that this will give me insights to my options in the Naturalist pursuit. K~


Animal Care Crew: Approximately half our admits are adult animals who have been injured by a car, dog, cat or some other human-related impact on its life. We are thankful for more than 80 year-round volunteers who commit to coming to the center on a weekly basis to provide loving care to these recuperating animals. If you'd like to help injured wildlife return to its natural habitat, we have a great opportunity for you!


RABIES VACCINE INFORMATION: The vaccination is an absolute requirement to work on our year-round Animal Care Crew, and for our Mammal Nursery


Animal Care Crew Duties: -Hands-on patient care: Providing the directed amounts of food and water to injured wild animals. -Providing clean, comfortable housing for each animal (changing newspapers, towels and wiping out cages) -Handling the animal properly (WRC staff provides training) -Helping maintain a clean, sterile hospital environment (sweeping, mopping soiled surfaces, doing laundry, stocking supplies and food, washing windows, etc)

Um. Can I point out that you just accepted a job that does not pay but requires a rabies vaccine???

I AM thrilled for you, just be careful.

I love the logo. Sounds like you'll be caring for a lot of deer. Wasn't there a bear that got hit once? On 94?
Good for you, and enjoy-L
