Anxious to put your values to the test?

Currently the center has over 100 active volunteers contributing more than 12,000 hours a year in the service of injured wild birds or wild animals. They make a significant difference for the native wildlife they serve and they bring the Peace River Wildlife Center’s mission to life.
PRWC typically has over 100 permanently injured residents and admits over 2,500 patients per year. If you have a few hours a week that you can commit to our wildlife, these wild animals can sure use your help! As a PRWC volunteer you will commit to a regular weekly schedule, to be determined.
