Volunteer with Parrot Partners!
Due to demand, we are implementing a Kids' Program where families can come volunteering with their children below the age of 13 years (the current minimum age to be a volunteer under parental supervision). This program will run once a month, on the weekend, after the normal volunteer shift hours: from 2 PM until 4 PM.
Tasks will include making parrot toys and puzzles, cleaning safe areas (like the gift shop), reading to nervous birds, organizing parrot supplies, making arts and crafts, etc. All under the supervision and guidance of a senior volunteer or staff member, and the children will be allowed to interact with one selected parrot.
While we encourage everybody to have fun, this program is not a way for families to get an aviary tour; please view the "Book a tour" section if that's what you are looking for. The goal of this program is to teach parrot care and responsibilities to the next generation of parrot lovers, and to let these young passionate people contribute to our organization by helping us with their time and talents.
Sincerely, thank you for your interest in volunteering with us. Without our volunteers, Parrot Partners would not exist!
We have found that people and animals are happiest when they are doing what they are good at doing. We need volunteers for almost anything and everything you could imagine, so please do not limit yourself to parrot care, while that may be a continual need.
