California Wildlife Center’s ability to help 4,000 patients annually is largely due to the stellar team of volunteers and interns that donate their time and hard work to assist our animal care staff. Every year, CWC hosts 25 interns who are admitted into one of three internship tracks – Marine Mammal Rescue and Rehabilitation, Wildlife Rehabilitation, and Wildlife Hotline and Outreach. Interns donate 300 hours of their time over the course of 10 weeks. They learn department specific skills such as assisting with rescues of marine species, feeding and administering medication, restraining patients for staff during exams and wound care, corresponding with and educating members of the public, and so much more. Please welcome our first two interns of the season!
