    Descrição

    ***** Only accepting volunteers for a minimum commitment of 2 months -*******

    Our Wildlife Sanctuary’s mission is to provide a permanent, spacious sanctuary and ongoing care for wildlife that, due to psychological or physical injury, it is not possible to release back into the wild.

    Physical injury to Costa Rica’s wildlife is most often caused by human encroachment. Deforestation, development and fragmentation of their natural habitat has led to frequent electrocutions on power lines, dog attacks and injury or death due to fast moving motor vehicle.

    The Wildlife Sanctuary looks for volunteers with a real passion for our project and the work we do, who not only want to help with the daily sanctuary chores but are also motivated to support our mission to prevent the devastating and often fatal wildlife electrocutions on power lines happening daily across Costa Rica. We are looking for a minimum stay of 2 months.

    IMPORTANT: Volunteers have no interaction with the animals in our care. Our sanctuary still focuses on animal care and volunteers provide important parts of this care such as food preparation and habitat cleaning, but if you are looking to handle wildlife, this is not the project for you!

    Our Wildlife Sanctuary looks for volunteers with a real passion for our project and the work we do, who not only want to help with the daily sanctuary chores but are also motivated to support our mission to prevent the devastating and often fatal wildlife electrocutions on power lines happening daily across Costa Rica. We are looking for a minimum stay of 2 months.

    Volunteer responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

    - Creating and implementing enrichment ideas
    - Food preparation
    - Cleaning habitats
    - Putting out fresh leaves
    - Scrubbing soiled blankets
    - Laundry
    - Preparing sleeping areas
    - Keeping the sanctuary grounds clean and presentable, including all facilities
    - Keeping all work spaces clean

    One of the most important tasks for volunteers is researching and implementing enrichment projects. These can be related to the animals’ food: finding stimulating ways to feed the animals to recreate challenges they might face in the wild. The enrichment projects can also be related to entertainment; reconfiguring habitats and building toys or objects for the animals to play with, interact with or climb over. All volunteers must have approval from management ahead of building and implementing enrichment projects.

    On a normal volunteer schedule each volunteer has 2 full days off. The working days are 6:30am – 6pm, however we try to stagger volunteer shifts so no one is working the whole day. Our shifts are 6:30 to 3:30 and 9am to 6 pm. Normal lunch breaks are 1.5 hours long.

    We are looking for mature, flexible, open-minded, hardworking volunteers. Preferably 21+ and independent.
    We need caring individuals that are fine with tedious, dirty work. Working with vulnerable and young animals can be hard; mentally and physically. Volunteers need to be eager to work, self-motivated, respectful and most of all: flexible. Volunteers will be working both in team-setting as well as independently. Volunteers will get hot, wet, dirty & tired, but in the end the results of your work will be your reward!

    Costa Rica has a very hot & humid climate which doesn’t make work easier. There are many insects here, but there is no malaria.

    Some level of Spanish is appreciated, but not required. Fluent English is mandatory.

    All volunteers need to have an up-to-date tetanus vaccination and international health insurance.
