Wolf Conservation Center


Onsite Help

There's always work to be done at the Center. The jobs aren't always glamorous, but they do all come with the benefit of getting to observe the wolves. There is no physical contact with the wolves. We offer the following volunteer opportunities.

  • Grounds Maintenance: We could always use help cleaning, cutting grass, clearing brush, assisting with the various construction tasks and projects that arise (weekday morning/afternoon availability)
  • Assistant Guides: Assist with programs, set up, and clean up while participating in the educational program as a WCC representative (weekend availability)
  • Roadkill Deer Acquistion and Handling: Assist with acquisition and handling of road kill deer. This volunteer position is on call, requires a clean driving record, the abilty to lift 60 lbs, and you must live within 15-20 miles of the WCC
  • Group Volunteering: The WCC can accommodate volunteer groups of 10—25 people, for 3—5 hours, during the week (Tuesday-Friday) or on the weekends. Adult groups are subject to a $200 fee to volunteer during the week, group volunteering is free for kids groups (aged 16 or under) during the week. All volunteer groups, regardless of age, are subject to a $500 fee to volunteer on the weekends. Groups will typically assist ongoing grounds and maintenance projects at the center. Please direct all group volunteer requests to volunteer@nywolf.org

Mission Statement

The Wolf Conservation Center's mission is to advance the survival of wolves by inspiring a global community through education, advocacy, research, and recovery.

Founded by Hélène Grimaud in 1999, the Wolf Conservation Center (WCC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit environmental education organization working to protect and preserve wolves in North America through science-based education, advocacy, and participation in the federal recovery and release programs for two critically endangered wolf species - the Mexican gray wolf and red wolf. The WCC's 'ambassador wolves' reside on exhibit where they help teach the public about wolves and their vital role in the environment. Through wolves, the WCC teaches the broader message of conservation, ecological balance, and personal responsibility for improved human stewardship of our World.
