Volunteer
Wolf Haven receives no federal or state funding, and we depend on YOU to help us carry out our mission of conserving and protecting wolves and their habitat. Volunteers help to increase understanding, appreciation, and conservation of wolves and wildlife. They serve as ambassadors in the community, promoting Wolf Haven, wolves, and native prairie species.

Jason has been volunteering at Wolf Haven since 2015 and is always willing to jump in and help where needed. He began behind our onsite information table as one of the first faces visitors saw upon arrival to the sanctuary. Today – along with guiding visits, working at outreach booths, and helping with events – he has become an indispensable member of our education team. As a father, husband, firefighter, and scientist, his plate is full, but Jason still makes time to support Wolf Haven because of the connections he has made to this place and the people here. “I respect Wolf Haven's mission so I always strive to represent Wolf Haven as the world-class sanctuary that it is,” he says.

I was a volunteer for Wolf Haven for about 12 years and I have to say that I received more from my volunteer experience than I gave. My fellow volunteers and the staff have all been wonderful and have supported me in ways unlike any other organization for which I acted as a volunteer. While the wolves don't send thank you cards, they provide some of the most wonderful appreciation that could ever come to us.

Being a volunteer at Wolf Haven allows me to participate in advocacy for a species that I care deeply about in hands-on ways. I never tire of being in the presence of these magnificent animals and talking about them with sanctuary visitors or at community events. My work at Wolf Haven has allowed me to integrate my passion into my everyday life.

My volunteer service began 9 years ago, and I've loved every moment I've spent at Wolf Haven. There are many different roles for volunteers, which makes it easy for everyone to find opportunities that suit their preferences and abilities. The skill, knowledge, and kindness of the staff and fellow volunteers is a testament to the fact that Wolf Haven is a place for people who care about wolves, wildlife, and other people.
