Genesis Zoological is a non profit 501(C)(3) Tax exempt Wildlife Rescue Center. We have been in operation in Florida since 1989. The main function of the center is to rescue wildlife and facilitate there release or permanent care. This includes the rehabilitation and release of native wildlife as well as the permanent care of exotic and non-releasable animals. The community brings us there un-wanted, injured and nuisance wildlife. We are a center that is run strictly by donations and volunteers. All(%100) of the donations received are used for the animals. |
Volunteer: With the center being run by volunteers, they are always needed. There are many things a person can do including clean up, lawn maintenance, building & facility maintenance, feeding and administrative tasks. There are two types of volunteers, long term and short term. Everyone starts as a short term volunteer. This would also include Community service people. Duties include Maintenance, cleaning, greeting, painting, promotions, print media. No direct contact or feeding of most of the animals. Long term volunteers have come weekly on a regular basis for many months. This has enabled them to get use to the procedures and allows the director to develop a certain amount of trust. Trust is the main factor to becoming a long term volunteer. This must be developed with the animals that you will be caring for and only comes with time. Once this has been established you will be feeding/cleaning the animals and taking care of there needs. Volunteer work can even be done from home or work. It takes minimal time from your life but can help in many ways. Humans have made the biggest negative impact on these animals native habitat, so without the help from volunteers, humans can't begin to make things better. You must be at least 18 y/o to volunteer.
