General Support
With thousands of animals being cared for at Toronto Wildlife Centre each year, a tremendous amount of resources are dedicated to both maintaining the upkeep of the facility and ensuring that supplies are clean and readily accessible for Wildlife Rehabilitation staff and volunteers. Based on commitment and performance as a General Support volunteer, there is a great possibility of transitioning into other volunteer roles in the future.
