Please complete this application if you are interested in volunteering for International Bird Rescue. We rely on our volunteers to help us carry out our mission, and invest significant time in their training, so dependability and long-term dedication are extremely important.

Our volunteer opportunities have required commitments such as 2 hours of continued education each year and ongoing training goals.

You must be at least 18 years old to volunteer. All volunteers are required to attend an initial Orientation as a prerequisite before volunteering with us. We ask volunteers to join our membership at a suggested price of $45 to cover the cost of training materials and a volunteer t-shirt at the completion of 40 hours. If your financial situation will make this difficult, please let us know.

We are requiring our volunteers to be fully vaccinated for Covid-19 and strongly reccomend a Covid-19 booster.

Please be sure to complete all required items that appear with an asterisk then click the "Continue" button to submit your completed application.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering for International Bird Rescue, and we hope to meet you soon!
