Become a Wild Thing!

Volunteer with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service

Last year almost 36,000 volunteers contributed more than 1.3 million hours of their time. We need your help. Will you join us? Volunteers help us in almost everything we do, from monitoring bird populations, to leading school groups on a refuge; from clearing trails to stocking fish; from helping in the office to repairing equipment. If you have a desire to help, we need you.

Although we always have a need for general volunteers, some times we may have a specific need for certain skills. Specific vacancies for volunteering are posted here.

Each U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service office recruits and trains its volunteers. The best way to find out how to volunteer is to contact your local U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Office or go to Opportunities.

Special Requests and further information can be obtained directly from UFWS R2 Volunteer Coordinator, Juli Niemann.
