Q&A

Animal care volunteer

October 2020 • New Bedford, MA

What I liked

The people were very kind and excited to work with me. I worked with elephants and got experience learning about diet, behavior, health, and enrichment. I also got to work with red pandas and feed them apples.

What I wish was different

I wish I could have more hands on experience with any form of animal. I am doing a lot of cleaning which I don’t mind but I love doing things like the diet and enrichment.

Advice

Be willing to do some hard work. You are on your feet for 9 hours and constantly moving.
