Group Volunteer Opportunities

Looking to volunteer with a group? We’ve got you covered! Please reach out to volunteerinfo@ohiowildlifecenter.org or (614) 407-7836 to schedule a service date or discuss offsite projects.

Student & Senior Volunteer Projects

Due to the nature of our work, Ohio Wildlife Center cannot offer student shadowing experiences or onsite service hours. Instead, high school students and scouts seeking service projects are encouraged to support our mission through craft and community outreach projects. These same projects can also be a great way for people of all ages to support our mission from the comfort of your own home!

Craft Projects

Looking for collegiate internships, instead? Please see www.ohiowildlifecenter.org/about-us/internships/ for information regarding intern and extern opportunities year-round.
