Volunteer

Volunteering is a great way to become intimately involved with Carolina Tiger Rescue and our animals, and does not necessarily require prior animal experience. We rely on our volunteers’ generous help in several different areas, including:

  • Animal Care
  • Construction and Maintenance
  • Office Work (answering phones, data entry, filing)
  • Gift Shop
  • Guiding Tours
  • Fundraising and Marketing

Requirements

  • Animal Care and Guiding Tours – 18 or older
  • Construction – 16 or older
  • Office Work and Gift Shop – 14 or older

Due to the training involved, most volunteers must be able to commit at least 8 hours a month for 6 consecutive months. For animal care, you must be able to commit 4 hours a week for 6 consecutive months. If you are unable to make this time commitment, consider Special Skills or Group Volunteering


How to Volunteer

  1. Contact us and include your address information so we can send you an application packet.
  2. Fill out the application and mail it back to CPT.
  3. Attend a volunteer orientation. When we have an open volunteer position that matches your interests and availability, we will notify you of the next scheduled orientation.
  4. Have fun!

Group Volunteering

We make special arrangements for work groups (school groups, university clubs, civic groups, etc.) to come out and help us at Carolina Tiger Rescue. Work groups are often helping with compound maintenance, construction, and groundskeeping projects. To make arrangements for a work group, please contact Scott Miller.
