Croc Encounters relies on volunteers for everything that we do.
Volunteers help with care of animals, habitat construction,
grounds-keeping and education programs/fundraising.
Please fill out an online form if you are interested in helping. You
must attend an orientation in order to start volunteering.
Once you have filled out a form, you will be placed on a list to receive
emails when we hold orientations. As soon as you attend one you
can start! We do also have internship opportunities. Please email us
for more details volunteers@crocencounters.org.
There is no experience necessary to become a volunteer. We do
require a weekly commitment from local volunteers. All volunteer
hours are converted to points and can be exchanged for items
including T-shirts.
After a 100 hour commitment a letter of recommendation will be
supplied to you. Please fill out the volunteer form to start!
There are four main areas where volunteers have
the opportunity to help:

There are four main areas where volunteers have
the opportunity to help:
Groundskeeping/Horticulture:
In addition to the animals at Croc Encounters, the plants also need
care. Grass must be trimmed, mulch pathways weeded, new plants
watered and pruned, and fence lines cleared. This is an important
part of keeping our park clean and attractive.
Education Programs:
Volunteers have the opportunity to observe and eventually take a
lead teaching role in educational programming on and off-site. All
programs include live animal encounters and are done for groups of
all ages.

which are American

animals need daily
care including
cleaning of habitats,
preparation of food,
enrichments, and
training.

have a minimum of
50 hours of
volunteer time are
invited to assist with
animal care.

Habitat Construction:
With the constant influx of new animals, Croc Encounters is always under construction. Fence installation, concrete work, digging of ponds & painting, are a few of the tasks involved.
