Habitat roving volunteer

The Habitat Roving Volunteer is one of four volunteer programs, which include Event Support, Dive Volunteer, and Animal Behavior Monitoring. 

How to apply

We are not currently recruiting for this program. The next recruitment process begins in January 2027. 

Application windows are open up to three times per year: early January, late spring and late summer. Volunteers participate in the season following the application period. Applications may not open if a program is at capacity.

Once an application is approved and volunteers progress through the program, new and additional opportunities will become available to them. If you are interested in a different role to start your volunteer experience, please check out the other volunteer programs. 

About this opportunity

Habitat rovers share information, stories, and conservation messages while stationed at a habitat during daytime hours and special events.

• A once-weekly commitment of 4 hours
• Available as a family or individual volunteer experience
• Open to youth ages 10 to 13 years when participating with a consistent adult volunteer
• Open to anyone aged 14 and up—from students to retirees—participating individually or with friends/family

Please note

Youth aged 10 to 13 years old must volunteer with one consistent adult, such as a parent, relative, or close family friend. The adult must actively participate in the volunteer program alongside the youth, including completing a separate volunteer application and attending orientation, training and actively participating in the volunteer program alongside the youth.

All 18+ volunteers must complete a background check. 

Our program is designed to be inclusive of all skills and abilities; we welcome job coaches or other support personnel.
