Our team in their own words
I feel incredibly honored to be part of a place that so deeply reflects my personal passion. Working alongside volunteers and colleagues who share a similar motivation, and taking the time to learn the ‘why’ behind what brings each of us to WRA, is profoundly inspiring. There is something powerful about showing up every day to work toward something bigger, together.
Working at WRA has introduced me to an amazing community. Whether I'm collaborating with experienced wildlife rehabilitators, working alongside dedicated volunteers, or supporting caring members of the public, I'm continually inspired by the way everyone comes together with a shared purpose— to protect and respect local wildlife.
What I love most about working for WRA is the meaningful work that goes into the care of wildlife. You get to work and collaborate with a diverse group of people who each bring their own unique experiences to the team!
Being part of the Wildlife Rescue team has given me a real sense of purpose. It's incredibly inspiring to work alongside a team of compassionate staff and volunteers who share the same mission. That shared passion and dedication makes for a very special community and workplace.
