Join us for a training session for our new volunteer position, Animal Ambassador Caretakers, led by Amy Thomas at the Case Nature Center at Cool Spring Preserve!

This engaging session is designed to help you feel confident and prepared in your role caring for our resident Animal Ambassadors. Structured training activities will last no more than two hours, but we’ve set aside three hours total to allow plenty of time for questions, hands-on exploration of the space and supplies, and anything else you need to get comfortable. As an Animal Ambassador Caretaker, you’ll help feed and enrich the lives of our educational animals, support basic housekeeping in collaboration with PVAS staff and AmeriCorps members, and may even have opportunities to engage the public at events like Turtle Time. This training is a great way to deepen your connection with wildlife and conservation through meaningful volunteer service.
Animal Ambassadors are fed on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The times of day are flexible and can be arranged to fit within the Caretaker’s schedule.
