Is there a minimum number of hours to work per day or week?
No. The length of time that a volunteer stays depends on what type of work they are
doing. We have had some volunteers who come almost every day for a short length of time (less
than an hour), and others who come every month or so for several hours or more.
What hours can I volunteer?
Most volunteer work is done between the hours of 8am - 3pm, as we get very
busy after 3pm with feeding the animals. But there are exceptions depending on the
type of work, and some volunteers stay as late as 5pm or so.
Can I volunteer on weekends?
Saturdays are good for volunteering, but we usually have only a small crew of
experienced volunteers on Sunday, as that is the only day of the week where
Florence and the animals get a little rest and quiet.
Is there a minimum age for volunteering?
No, but we ask that an adult parent or guardian accompany and supervise any volunteers
who are age 14 or under.
What should I wear?
We recommend wearing old clothes, and closed-toe shoes (not sandals).
Anything else I should know?
We suggest leaving valuables at home, or possibly in your locked car (although we cannot
be responsible in the unlikely event that a car is broken into). We usually
have drinking water available, but there are no vending machines or nearby restaurants,
so we recommend bringing lunch or a snack. There are tables and chairs for eating lunch
or a snack, but we recommend leaving food in your car until you are ready to eat, so
the animals don't get into it.
