Get in on the action – volunteer!
Volunteers play a vital role at the International Wolf Center, contributing thousands of hours each year staffing booths, stuffing mailers, entering data, and performing essential maintenance. You could be part of this great tradition!
Not a wolf expert? Don’t worry. If you believe in our mission and love wolves, we can find a way for you to make a difference. On the other hand, if you have an educational background and want to become more knowledgeable about wolves, we can help prepare you to confidently engage the public at one of our many events.
The next step is all up to you.
To volunteer, fill out this application and click submit. Once you fill out the application, we’ll gladly contact you to discuss the many ways you can help the International Wolf Center teach the world about wolves. At this time, we are only able to accept volunteers who live near or are willing to travel to Ely or Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Please plan to set aside about 20 minutes to complete the application. It may take more or less time depending on how thorough you are.
