Lend Your Talons, Volunteer With Us

Volunteers are vital to the continued success of Cascades Raptor Center! They help us provide high-quality care for our avian ambassadors and great experiences for our visitors. We strive to create a positive environment where all volunteers can contribute in meaningful ways, are valued for their abilities, and have the opportunity to develop their skills.
BRINGING YOU TO THE RAPTORS

Getting Started

Please note: Volunteers have very limited direct contact with the raptors. Instead, they support birds by educating visitors and caring for the birds in a hands-off fashion.
If you are interested in becoming part of our volunteer team, please first read the Volunteer Information Packet (link below) and then fill out the corresponding application(s) for the team(s) you would like to join. Spaces are limited, so please continue to check back for available opportunities.

All volunteers are highly encouraged to stay current with the latest Flu & COVID vaccines, and must be up-to-date on their tetanus vaccination.
