Wild for Art Program Volunteers

Help Inspire the Next Generation of Wildlife Champions!
Love wildlife, enjoy working with kids, or want a meaningful way to give back to your community? Champions for Wildlife is looking for friendly volunteers to help with hands-on wildlife education programs in Henderson and Polk Counties, North Carolina. No teaching, art, or wildlife experience is required.
Our programs bring wildlife learning to life for children through simple, hands-on activities. Volunteers help students explore real wildlife items like feathers, bones, nests, and tracks, support art and creative projects, join nature-based activities, and help make sure each child has a positive, engaging experience.
What volunteers do:
- Help students explore wildlife biofacts (feathers, bones, tracks, etc.)
- Assist with simple art and creative projects
- Support nature walks and outdoor learning
- Help set up materials and keep activities running smoothly
- Be a friendly, encouraging presence for kids
Flexible volunteering! Some people help regularly, others just a few times a year. You choose what works for your schedule.
No special background is needed. Our staff leads every program and provides all training and support. We’re simply looking for dependable, kind people who enjoy working with children and care about wildlife, nature, and creative expression through art.
This is also a great way to meet others in your community who share your interests and want to make a difference.
Whether you’re helping a child discover a hawk feather for the first time or cheering them on as they create wildlife art, you’ll be part of experiences that stay with them long after the program ends.
Explore. Create. Protect.
Join us and help inspire the next generation of wildlife champions.
